Technical Assistance:
Training in recognizing child abuse and neglect must be obtained by all staff prior to working with children. The Interstate Child Care Background Check Contact List was provided to the director for assistance in completing out of state background checks.
Comments:
An unannounced code compliance inspection was initiated on 9/19/2022 and concluded on 9/19/2022 from 10:35 AM to 12:20 PM. There were 66 children present, ranging in ages from 2 to 4, with 14 staff. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, procedures and medication. A total of 4 children?s records and 4 staff?s records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
Based on record review and interview, the center failed to obtain a search of child abuse and neglect registry or equivalent registry maintained by any other state in which a new staff has resided in the preceding five years for any founded complaint of child abuse or neglect against him/her prior to the first day of employment.
Evidence:
1. Staff 4's hire date was 7/8/22. The sworn statement documents staff 4 lived in FL within the last five years. Documentation of a central registry background check was not in the record for FL. 2. The director verified they did not have the required background check.
Plan of Correction:
The background request will be completed within 10 days. If a response is not received within 30 days the director will follow up. The file will be documented and the licensing inspector will be informed. In the future the director will complete central registry background checks within 30 days after hire as required.
