The facility, to include all indoor areas used by preschool children and before and after care children, as well as the outdoor play space, were observed. Staff report that the program does not routinely transport preschool children in a vehicle. Areas of non-compliance are identified on the violation notice. Thank you for your time during today's inspection. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of assistance.
Based on a review of records and interview, the Religious Exempt center did not ensure that the results of a Search of the Central Registry are obtained by the center within 30 days of employment of staff. Evidence: Sixteen staff records were reviewed. The record for staff #10 whose employment date is documented as 8/23/19 did not contain the results of a Search of the Central Registry. The Program Administrator felt sure that these results had been obtained but was unable to locate the documentation. The program administrator was unable to obtain documentation of these results.
Plan of Correction:
The program administrator stated that she will contact the agency to see if documentation of the background check is available. If this documentation is not available, then a new request for a search of the central registry will be sent out by February 13, 2020.
