101215.1(f) · 101215.1 Child Care Center Directors Qualifications and Duties. (f) When the child care center director is absent from the center, arrangements shall be made for a fully qualified teacher as specified in Section 101216.1(c) to act as substitute. This substitute child care center director shall be aware of center operations, including total enrollment; shall be trained in program operation; and shall be designated as an authorized person to correct operational deficiencies that constitute immediate threats to children's health and safety.

The center director must ensure that there is a qualified teacher who can take over as the substitute director when she is not present. The substitute director must be informed of their role and be familiar with the center's operations. By February 29, 2024, the Center will submit a "Designation of Administrative Responsibility" form LIC 308 to the Licensing office. Based on observation and interview, the Center did not comply with the abovementioned section. The Center did not assign a person in charge or appoint a substitute childcare center Director when the Director was absent. Each of the teachers who were present upon LPA entrance to the Center confirmed that they were not assigned as a substitute director or in charge of the Center, which poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care.
