Based on video footage, the required staff-to-child ratio of 1:4 for infants was not followed.
Evidence: On April 30, 2024 at approximately 8:25am, there were 5 infants with 1 staff member. At 8:45am, another child came into care. There were 6 children in care with 1 staff member until approximately 9:00am when another staff member came into the classroom. The infant classroom was out of ratio for 40 minutes.
Plan of Correction:
Staff members will reach out to their co-workers to receive the needed assistance to ensure ratios are met. To maintain ratios the center has made changes to the operational structure for the upcoming school year. Some of these changes include hours of operation, classroom numbers, employee shifts, etc.
