A total of 6 child records and 5 staff records were reviewed. The inspection started at 3:45pm and concluded at 5:40pm.

Violations:

Standard #:	22.1-289.035-B-2
Description:	Based on review of staff files the facility failed to ensure that completed finger print documentation was obtained prior to hire as required. Evidence: 1.

Staff file #3, hire date 10/18/23, had a completed finger print document but it was dated 10/27/23, which was after hire. Completed finger print results must be obtained prior to hire of any staff. Both staff have been actively working with the children since hire.
Plan of Correction:	Proof of finger print results were found and placed in the file. No staff will be hired before the finger print results are received. Results will immediately be printed and added to staff files to ensure compliance.

The allowed 30 days to obtain this has expired and the staff member has been actively working with the children since the hire date.
Plan of Correction:	Proof of registry results were located and added to the staff file. In the future close attention will be paid to ensure registry checks are completed as required and placed in the staff files for compliance.
