Comments:
A complaint inspection was initiated on 6/2/2023 and concluded on 6/6/2023 regarding a complaint that was received by the department on 5/30/2023. Seven staff were interviewed and observations made in the classrooms. Documentation was reviewed. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of staffing and supervision, programming, and special care. A total of 5 child records and 5 staff records were reviewed. The inspection started on 6/2/2023 at 12:15 pm and concluded at 2:31pm. The inspection continued on 6/6/2023 from10:45 am until 12:55 p.m.
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. Therefore, the complaint is deemed Valid.
Based on documentation and interviews, staff did not always ensure that children are cleaned and changed immediately when their clothes or diaper are wet or soiled.
Evidence: The digital program that staff utilize for documenting children's feedings, diaper changes, activities and important information throughout the day showed that:on 5/23/2023, child #1 arrived at the center at 8:50 a.m. Child #1's wet diaper was changed at 9:50 and again at 11:50. Child #1 had a bottle, took a nap and had an afternoon snack between 1:15 p.m. and 3:46 pm and at 4:48 child #1 was signed out and left the center for the day. Nearly 5 hours had passed since child #1's diaper had been changed when she was picked up from care. Child #1's diaper was reportedly very wet at the time that she left the center to go home.
Plan of Correction:
The licensee states "Staff will be retrained on our diapering policy which is to change students every 2 hrs or sooner if needed".
