Based on observation and interview, the center did not ensure during the stated hours of operation, there was on the premises and on field trips when one or more children are present one staff member who meets the qualifications of a program leader or program director and an immediately available staff member, volunteer or other employee who is at least 16 years of age, with direct means for communication between the two of them.
Evidence:
1. Nine school age children and one staff were observed crossing W. Williamsburg Road and returning to the center.
2. The owner/director stated the nine children and one staff had been at the playground behind Corinth United Methodist Church. The playground is not adjacent to the center.
Plan of Correction:
Per the owner: I will have two classes go the the playground together to ensure there is more than one staff with the children.
