“Ensure that before staff members begin working with children, they have completed the Health and Safety for Child Care Professionals training.”

“Ensure that before families enroll, they complete the Prent's Right to Know Log at enrollment. One newly enrolled child was not on the log.”

“Ensure staff files are complete. Eight staff members need completed professional development plans, and one needs CPR and first aid certification. One staff member needs a job description. One staff member needs a health appraisal. Two staff members need TB results. One staff member needs a release of employment history and initials and, if necessary, follow-up service better requests.”

“Ensure staff's exact arrival and departure are documented. When the attendance roster was observed at approximately 7:06 a.m., one staff member was signed out at 8:30 a.m.”

“Ensure that the child files are complete. Two children need the date of enrollment, hours, and day attending. Five children need a health appraisal and immunizations on file. Three children need blood lead screening results. One child needs the Praents Right to Know notification and screen time permission. Two children need emergency transportation permissions.”

“Ensure the child's personal belongings space is labeled or a system is in place to identify each child's personal space.”

“Ensure staff files are complete. One staff member needs one reference letter, documented attempts to receive a service letter from two prior employers if no service letter is returned two additional reference letters are needed.”

“Exact departure time of staff to be documented. LS observed at the beginning of the visit at 11:02 a.m. one staff member was signed out at 12:00 p.m. LS reviewed the prior week's attendance and each day one or more staff members did not sign out at the end of their work period.”

“On August 24, 2023, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding lack of supervision. An investigation was conducted on August 30, 2023. The complaint is substantiated for lack of supervision because Administrator Brown stated he was aware the children went to the restroom alone after it occurred. Also, a staff member stated during opening and closing, the children are sometimes sent to the restroom alone. In addition, three children stated children are allowed to go to the restroom alone depending on their age, if they are trusted, and if they have never played around in the bathroom. Additional concerns noted were staff files were not readily accessible, and staff and child attendance records were incomplete.”

“Ensure staff files are complete. one staff member needs an orientation, application, resume, or personal data sheet, a declaration, drug and alcohol statement, adult abuse result check, a health appraisal on OCCL's form, tb results, and a release of employment history. Two staff members need documented attempts for a service letter and a follow up maybe required.”

“Ensure children are under direct supervision of an eligible and qualified staff member. One staff member sent two children alone to another location to be with the class. The two children would have to walk down a hallway alone to meet the others and the staff member. This was corrected at the visit and a conversation was had.”

“Ensure the children's belongings have a system of identification.”
