2024-05-24 Violation 303 .1801(a)(1-5)
Children were not adequately supervised at all times. As I entered the classroom for children one year of age there were six (6) one year olds sitting at the two (2) tables eating lunch. Three (3) children were sitting at the table closest to the door and three (3) children at the table pushed up to the wall. There was one (1) teacher in the classroom, and she was observed putting out children’s cots. In the classroom for two-through-three-year-olds there were sixteen (16) children with two (2) teachers. Children were observed eating lunch. One (1) teacher was observed standing by the table near the door and could see the children eating at the table directly in front of her and children that were facing towards her. The other teacher was observed putting out cots. There were several children sitting table at the table near the sink and at the table near the diaper changing table that were sitting with their back turned towards the teacher that was standing and she could not see them. Because teachers in both classrooms were involved in other activities and not positioned where all children could be seen and heard while eating, adequate supervision was not provided during meals.
2024-05-24 Violation 1792 .0901(i)
Staff did not model appropriate eating behaviors by consuming food or beverages that meet the nutritional requirements specified in the Meal Patterns for Children in Child Care Programs in the presence of children in care. During my walk through of the classrooms it was noted that in the classroom for children ages two-through-three year of age there was a bottle of diet mountain dew sitting on a high shelf.
