In the School-Age classroom, two children were not identified by either staff present, and neither staff knew which specific primary group they were assigned on that day. In the Preschool combined classroom, the staff had not taken responsibility for an assigned primary group until the inspector asked for each staff person's group. At that time, the staff had a conversation and decided how the children would be assigned to each staff person. Correction Required: 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. |

A review was done to be sure all lists are current with enrollment and what is done for new children. Staff will always stay with and be able to identify the children in their currently assigned group as well as be able to locate each one. If the staff must be replaced for any amount of time, break or absence, it needs to be clear to the replacement staff who their current group is. |
