Comments:
A self report inspection was initiated on 7/15/2022 and concluded on 8/26/2022 regarding an allegation relating to supervision of children. Interviews were conducted with staff and videos 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 program.
Based on interviews and review of footage from the security cameras, the center failed to ensure that the center implemented procedures for appropriate supervision of all children in care. Evidence: 1. The center?s staff handbook states under ?Playground Safety? that: ?The biggest factor in maintaining a safe environment for the children is close and constant supervision.? Staff #1 was approximately 20 feet away from and constantly looking at her phone during the one minute that two children (ages 18 & 20 months) were fighting over a riding toy. 2. The center?s staff handbook in the ?Telephone Calls? section states, ?No texting or other cell phone activities will be allowed during work hours.? Staff #1 was observed on her phone on 7/15/2022 while on the playground supervising four toddlers. Staff #1 was observed using her cell phone approximately eight times totaling approximately 10 minutes during the 30 minute playground supervision of four children ages 15 months -20 months
Plan of Correction:
The director terminated staff #1's employment as soon as she was made aware of the complaint and verified what happened.
