Comments:
A complaint inspection was initiated on 4/14/20923 and concluded on 4/19/2023 regarding multiple sections of the standards and law. There were 17 children, ages 20 months old to 11 years old present with 4 staff on 4/14/2023 and 20 children, ages 20 months to 4 years old, present with 5 staff supervising on 4/19/2023. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of 5 child records and 10 staff records were reviewed. The inspection started at 12:30 pm and concluded at 4:15 pm on 4/14/2023. On 4/19/2023 the inspection began at 11:30 am and concluded at 4:50 pm.
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, one area of the complaint was deemed valid.
Based on interviews and a review of available documentation, the licensee did not always ensure that when a child's clothing or diaper becomes wet or soiled, the child is cleaned and changed immediately. Evidence: Ten staff were interviewed on 4/14/2023. All of the 10 staff stated that diapers are regularly checked frequently throughout the day, at a minimum of once every two hours, and changed immediately when staff become aware that a child is wet or soiled. During interviews on 4/14/2023, one staff (Staff #1) recalled one occasion when she was made aware by child #1's parent, that the child's diaper needed changing. Staff #4 stated that, at the time of pick up, child #1's parent brought to her attention that child #1's diaper was very wet. Staff #4 stated that she confirmed that child #1's diaper was wet and ascertained that, due to miscommunication between the staff in the classroom, child #1's diaper had inadvertently not been checked or changed at the most recent round of diaper changes. Staff #4 said that child #1's diaper was immediately changed upon the parent bringing this to her attention.
Plan of Correction:
"Due to miscommunications between toddler staff members, Child #1's diaper was not checked between 2:30pm and 4pm. Since the incident, we have revised our diaper changing practices to ensure that all children's diapers are checked/changed in accordance to licensure standards."
