“Based on LPA observation during the morning, the facility failed to maintain the required staff-infant ratio in the Nido classroom. LPA initially observed one staff member supervising four infants. Shortly thereafter, two additional infants arrived. LPA also observed two staff members supervising eight infants in the outdoor area. An additional infant subsequently joined the group, resulting in nine infants being supervised by two staff members. The classroom did not have a gate or other barrier in place to prevent additional infants from entering the outdoor area. Nido eventually had a total of infants in attendance. The facility failed to ensure adequate staffing was available to maintain the required 1:4 staff-infant ratio as infants arrived and transitioned between the indoor and outdoor areas. This poses a potential risk to the health and safety of children in care.”
