| Date | Type | Regulations | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-04-21 | Complaint | 13A.16.07.01 | Corrected |
| Findings: Complaint states that a staff person is fussing, cursing, and putting hands on the children. It was reported she pushed a child's head and using the F word. One time she was yelling at the children and turned around and knocked over a bookcase. it was also reported that two teachers were fighting in front of the children. Findings: Interviewed several staff no one stated that they have heard a staff person yelling or cursing. One staff did state that they raise their voices when children aren't listening. Center is reminded that staff must keep their cool and refrain from yelling and cursing. As far as the staff fighting in front of the children, there was an argument between two staff regarding comments on made about another's child. It was during nap time. They are not permitted to fight in front of any children. They need to present a calm demeanor around the children. Appropriate behavior with the children needs to be reviewed with the staff and appropriate alternatives to raising voices need to be given. | |||
| 2026-03-20 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.02B | Corrected |
| Findings: The staff person who was working in the classroom where the child was left is an aide. There must always be a teacher qualified staff with each group. All rooms had qualified staff at the time of the inspection. Center needs to submit a new staffing pattern to be sure this aide is not alone with children in the morning before the teacher arrives. | |||
| 2026-03-20 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03D(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: A group of 3 two year olds from classroom 118A was mixed with a group of 5 infants in classroom 118B. The group of infants (all one year or above) had just come in from outside. The teacher in 118A was in the hallway fixing the paper on her door. Her one year old son was with her. That left the teachers with the other 4 infants watching the 3 children from 118A as well. The teacher from 118A needed to stay with her group as it made the infant classroom out of ratio and group size. The infants were in 118B just a couple of minutes but that room is a preschool room and not meant to have children under 2 in it. Infant staff need to remember to be sure that those children are only in rooms approved for children under 2 years of age. This was corrected when the teacher for 118A took over her children and the infants went into their own room. | |||
| 2026-03-20 | Complaint | 13A.16.03.03B(1) | Corrected |
