- Comments:
-
A monitoring visit was conducted to follow up on the Intensive Plan of Correction (IPOC) that was requested in September to address issues with staffing qualifications for lead teachers and ratios. The Director has revised the log to clarify documentation to meet the specific needs of the IPOC as of 10/30/2023. Ratios in all classrooms were in compliance with direct care staff. Reviewed children's activities, physical space, emergency procedures, 1 newly hired staff record and nutrition. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Please be aware that the plan of correction must be provided within 5 days of receipt of the inspection notes if you want it displayed on the website. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
