“On February 29, 2024, the Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint regarding incorrect staff-to-child ratio, unqualified staff alone with children, and inappropriate care of children. An investigation was conducted on March 6, 2024. Based on the results of this investigation this complaint is substantiated for incorrect staff-to-child ratios because attendance documents from the week of February 26, 2024, showed several infants who were present in the building but not signed into the opening classroom on multiple days during that week. Also, both the center administrator and Staff #3 stated infants are not being signed into the opening classroom. There is no evidence to substantiate unqualified staff are being left alone with children because all four staff who were interviewed stated they have never observed an unqualified staff member alone with children. There is no evidence to substantiate inappropriate care of children because all four staff who were interviewed stated they have never observed children being allowed to cry or forced to sit against the wall in the lobby area. An additional concern is children s attendance is not being properly documented because staff are not signing infants into the opening classroom. Non-compliance Cited: Reg #43 Ensure children s attendance includes exact arrival and departure times.
