Training was conducted 3/16/2023 via Zoom regarding paperwork requirements for children and staff. (12:00PM - 2:00PM). Required policies and procedures were also reviewed at that time.
- Comments:
-
A complaint investigation was initiated on 3/20/23 into a report received in our office on 03/07/23 and 03/08/2023. The preponderance of evidence supports the allegation of a lack of supervision. The complaint is therefore deemed valid.
Additional violations were cited that were not part of the original complaint; however, they were found during the course of the investigation.
Most violations were reviewed with admin staff during the onsite exit interview. One additional violation (cot spacing and top and bottom covers) was reviewed with the center owner by phone within 10 minutes of leaving the center.
