Based on observation and interview, the provider did not ensure that a caregiver did not exceed 16 points by using the point system to determine if an additional caregiver was needed.
Evidence: 1. On 1/23/2023 at approximately 9:38 am, nine (9) children ranging in age from six (6) months to two (2) years were observed in the care of one (1) caregiver totaling 27 points. The caregiver reported that the other two (2) caregivers had left to take the school aged children to school. The two (2) additional caregivers arrived back to the home at approximately 9:43 am. 2. The provider acknowledged that the one (1) caregiver had over 16 points for approximately 43 minutes. She acknowledged that the one (1) caregiver had 27 points.
Plan of Correction:
An assistant was hired starting 1/30/23 to ensure there is coverage in case someone is out sick. If there are not enough staff, children will be informed not to come so we do not exceed our capacity.
