The center must ensure that OCC is notified of new staff in a timely manner. Staff persons should not be working with children until the MD or FBI clearance AND abuse/neglect clearances have been completed.

| Findings: Perishable items were observed in children's lunch boxes with ice packs. One child had a box from Wawa with chicken fingers and other food items in it hanging on the cubby hook. The center must ensure any perishable items from a child's lunch brought from home are stored appropriately in the refrigerator. Staff food items were present in the refrigerators which is taking up most of the space. There must be enough space for the children's food. The center used to have bins for each classroom where perishable items were pulled from the lunch boxes and labeled with the child's name. | |||

| Findings: The complaint alleges children are not being supervised during outdoor play (staff sitting together, children doing inappropriate activities inside playhouse). It is further alleged the child has pinch marks on his inner thighs and a bite mark on his penis that was noticed by his guardians 2 to 3 weeks ago. Upon arrival on 3/25/2019 to the center, the children were engaged in outdoor play. The staff were standing in different areas of the larger outdoor play area assisting children. The center believes the four-year-old child is the instigator in the pants down activities. The child's teacher stated she heard him ask another child to pull his pants down so I can stick this in your butt. He has also tried to stick his finger in another child's butt during circle time. The guardians did request the child not be allowed in the playhouses anymore. One day when the guardian arrived to pick the child up, he observed him coming out of the playhouse while staff were sitting on the picnic tables. The director stated the child was playing alone in the playhouse and figured it would be okay if he was alone. The guardian was very upset and yelled at the staff members. (continued) | |||
| 2019-03-13 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.05B | Corrected |
| Findings: The staffing patterns posted in the classrooms are dated February 2018. The staffing patterns must show current staffing. The director should update the staffing patterns as needed, post them in the classroom, and send copies to the licensing specialist. | |||

| Findings: Two new staff hired in August 2018 and September 2018 were observed on site. One staff person has left as well. The licensing specialist had not been notified of their employment. The director is reminded to notify licensing of any staff changes within 5 working days of their beginning or ending of employment. | |||
| 2019-03-13 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.05C(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: The director is lacking 5 hours of continued training from the 2017-2018 training cycle. She will also need 12 hours by 5/11/2019. Forward copies of the training certificates to the licensing specialist once completed. | |||
| 2018-11-02 | Complaint | 13A.16.12.01A(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: The complaint alleges the center is not following the state meal plan and is providing poptarts and other sugary snacks. The children are allegedly rewarded with cookies and candy. According to the complainant, the contract states children will be served healthy snacks and meals. The current menu contained poptarts, cheese puffs, cereal bars, and cookies. The menu was revised on site to ensure the center is meeting the food program guidelines to include one whole grain item per day. The sugar contents in cereal and yogurt were also discussed; the center does serve some cereals that are not approved and will discontinue serving them. The director redid the menu and printed it out for the specialist to have prior to completing the inspection. A general list of approved cereals and yogurts will be sent to the director today as they are shopping this weekend for next week's snack items. Parents provide lunches and the center provides morning and afternoon snack. The morning snack normally contains an item that is similar to breakfast (cereal, muffins, cinnamon toast, French toast, etc.). Candy is available in the treasure box for choosing but not eaten at the center. | |||
| 2018-08-08 | Complaint | 13A.16.05.12D | Corrected |
| Findings: The alarms on the door in the preschool room and one of the windows are missing the other half which causes the alarm to go off when the contact is broken. The windows and door lead directly out to the fenced in back area (not outdoor play area) which contains an in ground pool. These alarms must be present and in working order. The pool cover has water collecting on top in which you cannot see the top of the cover anymore. The pump needs to be activated so water is not present on top of the cover. The cover is made so it can be walked on; however, the amount of water on top is hazardous if a child was able to get into the pool area. The gates to the pool area are self-locking and self-latching. | |||
| 2018-08-08 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.02B | Corrected |
| Findings: The complaint alleges three unqualified staff (aides) go on the school age field trips. The director states 3 staff (school age teacher and 2 aides) went on the field trip to CMM. Her daughter, currently 14 years old, went as well. The complainant may have believed her daughter was a staff member because she wears t-shirts just like the staff members. We discussed the possibility of her daughter being a volunteer to help run items to the classrooms for the teachers. At the time of the inspection, an aide was in charge in one of the infant rooms. She has prior center experience but is not qualified as infant/toddler teacher. The infant/toddler teacher is out due to family issues. An aide was also in charge of one of the preschool classrooms because the lead teacher is not here this week. The director is reminded that qualified staff must be present in each classroom unless she is using a substitute. The substitute must log in as a substitute on the substitute log and cannot be used for more than two weeks unless the center is advertising for qualified staff. Proof of the advertisement must be submitted to the licensing specialist. | |||
| 2018-08-08 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03C | Corrected |
| Findings: The complaint alleges one staff person is alone with 9 children in the two-year-old room. There are allegedly 2 three-year-olds and 7 two-year-olds. The staff person is supposedly struggling and does not get help when asked. The director admitted the two-year-old room has been out of ratio for short periods of time. There is also a three-year-old in the classroom who has special needs and sometimes requires one-on-one supervision due to his difficult behaviors. There are 9 children enrolled; however, all are not full time children. The director stated children are transitioned to other classrooms if there are more than 6 children present. Again, the center must be proactive in regards to staff:child ratios. She should ensure ratios are always maintained and children are moved prior to a classroom being out of ratio. At the time of the inspection, one of the infant rooms had 5 infants and toddlers with only one aide. The director stated she had been in there in the morning but the aide was alone for about an hour. Another staff person did come in to help her but that person is also only aide qualified. | |||
| 2018-08-08 | Complaint | 13A.16.03.06A(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: A new substitute was on site today working in the infant room with the regular qualified staff member. The director stated she has completed the fingerprinting process. The notarized release, orientation, and medical must still be submitted. Please submit a staff change form documenting the addition of the substitute. | |||
| 2018-08-08 | Complaint | 13A.16.04.01B | Corrected |
| Findings: The complaint alleges a staff person is caring for 9 children in the two-year-old room. This room's assigned capacity is 6. The room also only measures for 6 children. The director stated the room has been overcapacity at times but not for more than 10 minutes while children get moved. The director stated one time there were 7 children and she told the teacher she was moving one child. The teacher supposedly said the child was playing and to leave her for now. The director knows she should have moved the child even after the teacher said to leave her. It is imperative the director is proactive in regards to ensuring the capacities in the classrooms are not exceeded. There should not be a time where more children are present than the assigned capacities of each room. When other children come in, the transition should be smooth and consistent. | |||
