Evidence: 1. The licensing inspector conducted staff interviews which indicated 2 year old to 4 year old children are regularly in an ongoing mixed age group during the early morning hours. 2. Staff interviews indicated that the center had multiple occurrences of exceeding ratio during the early morning hours for the group of 2 year old to 4 year old children. The staff-to children ratio applicable to the youngest child in the group shall apply to the entire group. The ratio should have been 1:8. Plan of Correction: Per administration, school leadership will continue to monitor schedules and make adjustments when necessary. Teachers are instructed to notify leadership prior to being at ratio.
