|
Regulation: 3270.52/3270.113(a)(1) Description: Mixed Age Level/Staff assigned to specific children Noncompliance Area: It was observed in the after care program that two staff were present with 16 children; the youngest being a young school ager. When staff were asked about primary care groups, they stated that the children were not assigned to be under the supervision of any specific staff person at that time. When staff were asked about the after care's dismissal process, staff described that on certain days when one staff person leaves the gym to answer the door for parents as they arrive, the remaining staff person in the gym would be out of ratio, and they regularly care for preschool through school aged children in the after care program. Correction Required: When children are grouped in mixed age levels, the age of the youngest child in the group determines the staff:child ratio and maximum group size in accordance with the requirements in § 3270.51 (relating to similar age level). Infants 1:4 with a maximum group size of 8; Young toddlers 1:5 with a maximum group size of 10; Older toddlers 1:6 with a maximum group size of 12; Preschool children 1:10 with a maximum group size of 20; Young school-age children 1:12 with a maximum group size of 24; Older school-age children 1:15 with a maximum group size of 30. The required staff:child ratios must be maintained at all times. Each staff person shall be assigned the responsibility for supervision of specific children. The staff person shall know the names and whereabouts of the children in his assigned group. The staff person shall be physically present with the children in his group on the facility premises and on facility excursions off the facility premises. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Cards are being made with child's picture and information. These cards will be separated into the staff's daily primary care groups each morning for preschool and each afternoon for after care in order to help staff remember who is in their group. Groups will be created daily based on staff child ratios. In the preschool room staff will have no more than 10 children in their group at any given time, and in the after care program no more than 12 at any given time (10 if their groups contain a preschool aged child). Staff will create groups based on the age of the youngest child in their group. Staff must be physically present with their group at all times. The dismissal process for after care will be changed. The after care program will either use the cafeteria, which has the ability for staff to buzz in a parent without leaving the cafeteria space, or if the gym is used, parents will be asked to go around to the rear of the building and use the gym doors. This will allow for staff to adequately supervise and maintain ratios at all times. A third option is making sure at least 1 extra staff person is present to help answer the door for parents so that the other staff present can maintain the correct ratios and supervision at all times. |
