Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on June 26, 2019 from approximately 9:30 am to 2:30pm. At the time of the tour there were 45 children present with nine staff members, from infancy to school age. Children were observed watching children's programming, doing arts and crafts, arriving to the program and playing freely outdoors. Infants were observed napping, playing independently and sitting in bouncy chairs. The sample size consisted of nine staff records and five children's records. Three medications were reviewed.

Violations:
Standard #: 63.2(17)-1716-A-3-a
Description: Based on observation and inspection of the facility, the center did not ensure that ratios were maintained for children from 0 to 24 months: one staff member to four children. Evidence: The Director confirmed that there was one staff member working alone with nine children. The youngest child in the group, Child #1, was 23 months old.

Plan of Correction: We will have to wait until children turn two years old before transitioning them in order to maintain ratios and be in compliance.

Standard #: 63.2(17)-1716-A-4
Description: Based on record review, in one of nine staff records reviewed, the center did not ensure that each person in a supervisory position has been certified by a practicing physician to be free from any disability which would prevent him from caring for children under his supervision. Evidence: The Director confirmed that there was no documentation that Staff #8 had been certified by a practicing physician to be free from any disability which would prevent him from caring for children under her supervision.

Plan of Correction: We will be more diligent to ensure that we have the required documentation for each of our staff members.

Standard #: 63.2(17)-1720.1-A
Description: Based on record review, in one of nine staff records reviewed, the center did not ensure that staff shall undergo a background check in accordance with subsection B prior to employment or beginning to serve as a volunteer and every five years thereafter. Evidence: The Director confirmed that the most recent sworn statement or affirmation for Staff #9 was more than five years old and was dated 7/12/13.

Plan of Correction: I will make sure that the staff member completes one today and ensure that all staff members complete one every five years.

Standard #: 63.2(17)-1720.1-B-2
Description: Based on record review, in one of nine staff records reviewed, the center did not ensure that staff submit to fingerprinting and obtain results prior to employment. Evidence: The fingerprint results for Staff #5 was dated 4/12/19 and the staff member's start date was 4/8/19 as confirmed by the Director.

Plan of Correction: We will wait until we receive the fingerprint background before moving forward with courses, orientation and any other processes required to hire new staff.
