Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 5/3/24 from 10:10am to 12:25pm. At the time of the inspection there were 58 children in care and 11 staff members. Children were observed participating in various activities including centers, story time and lunch. Records were reviewed for four children and six staff members. Medication, evacuation drills, emergency supplies and other required records and postings were also reviewed. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice and discussed during the exit meeting.
Based on record review the center did not ensure that all staff have a central registry finding within 30 days of employment. Evidence: 1.Staff #1 (date of hire 10/20/23) was missing documentation of a central registry search. 2.Staff #1 was observed working during the time of the inspection.
Plan of Correction:
Central Registry had been submitted for Staff 1 but was not in the employee?s file. Staff 1 no longer works at this center but results have been added to the file. Moving forward, Center Management will follow up on Central Registry results if we have not received within 30 days and will ensure results are placed in the employee file once we receive.
