Description:	Based on observation, the center is reassigning children from his/her regular group and staff members repeatedly to maintain ratios. Evidence: 1. While in the three's class, a staff member brought a four year old child into that class and sat the child down with his snack. Staff in the three's class stated children are repeatedly moved in and out of their class because the age group below and/or above this class is over ratio so the staff bring the children to them. 10 minutes later, a staff member walked into the tree's class and took the child back to the fours class.
Plan of Correction:	We will work on creating staff hours that allow children to remain in their assigned classes.
