Violations:

Standard #:	63.2-1720.1-B-2
Description:	Based on record review and interview, the provider did not obtain the results of the fingerprint based background check prior to each staff member's first day of employment. Evidence: Staff#2 has a date of hire of 3/29/21. The results of the fingerprint based background check for staff#2 were not received until 4/8/2021.
Plan of Correction:	I will ensure that fingerprint results are obtained prior to each staff member's first day of employment. I would like to explain the circumstances about this violation. One of my assistants quit suddenly and I was in the necessity to hire someone else. The person that I hired was working in another daycare and she had the Fingerprints and background checks for the other daycare, for me it was a proof that she was eligible for the work and one of her reference letters was submitted from her ex-employer, the same that conducted the fingerprint checks. The same week that she started working for me she did the fingerprint.
Standard #:	63.2-1720.1-B-4
Description:	Based on record review and interview, the provider did not obtain a sex offender registry check from a state in which the applicant has resided in the preceding five years prior to employment.

Plan of Correction:	I will ensure that background check results are obtained prior to each staff member's first day of employment.
