102416.5(d)(e) · 102416.5: Staffing Ratio and Capacity: (d) "For a Large Family Child Care Home, the maximum number of children for whom care may be provided at any one time when there is an assistant provider in the home... (e) If no assistant provider is present at a Large Family Child Care Home, then the licensee shall comply with the capacity requirements for a Small Family Child Care Home..."

Licensee's assistant walked in the door shortly after LPA walked in bringing the capacity back within compliance. LPA explained to licensee that if she does not have any assistant present, no matter how long of a time, she must operate within the capacity of a Small Family Child Care Home. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above as upon arrival licensee was operating as Large Family Child Care License with no assistant present as she was supervising a total of 9 children (3 infants and 6 preschoolers) by herself. This poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care. Licensee will submit a written procedure/declaration on how she will ensure that there is always an assistant present helping care and supervise children if she is operating a capacity of a Large Family Child Care Home. Follow up visit is required.
