Technical Assistance:
Today we discussed that children under 2.5 years of age must be cared for in rooms with direct egress to outside. Additionally, with input from the Fire Marshal's office we discussed the fact that egress to out side in rooms where children under 2.5 years are in care, may not be obstructed with any device including safety latched or locked with a dead bolt.
Comments:
An unannounced focused monitoring inspection was conducted on March 29, 2023 from approximately 1:30pm through 3:30pm. This inspection is a follow-up to an Intensive Plan of Correction. There were 63 children in care ages three months through five years old with 10 staff and two administrators. Children were observed during nap time. There were violations observed in the areas of Staff Qualifications and Training, Physical Plant, Staffing and Supervision and Special Services. These violations were reviewed with administrative staff during the exit interview at the conclusion of the inspection.
Based on record review and interview the center failed to ensure that when any child for whom emergency medications have been prescribed will always be in the care of a staff member with the required medication administration training. Evidence: 1- There is emergency medication for a child in today. However, there is not any staff present who has received the required medication administration training. 2 - Staff #1 provided certificates for a medication training that is not a part of the department approved training.
