During the course of a complaint inspection related to discipline the following non-compliance was observed; A child was observed sleeping, or attempting to sleep on top of a stack of cots. I proceeded to ask the teacher why the child was sleeping on top of a stack of cots to which she responded that it was because the child "didn't bring sheets. The other children had sheets and blankets and she didn't". I proceeded to inform her that it is not an excuse for allowing a child to sleep on top of a stack of cots. The teacher proceeded to tell the child that she could sit at the table if she didn't want to lay there, but the child remained on top of the stack of cots. The child's needs were not met in this instance, as the teacher did not provide her with the cot or bedding. This is the third occurrence of this non-compliance in a 2-year period. Previous non-compliances were issued on 3/18/2025 and 4/2/2025. A Notice of Violation was issued on 4/2/2025. Therefore, a second Notice of Violation is being issued on this inspection

The licensing monitor observed the VPK classroom without a teacher present. When the monitor brought this concern to the attention of the teacher returning from the restroom, the VPK teacher stated the 4's teacher in the partitioned classroom next to VPK was watching the children for her. The 4's classroom teacher was not in line of sight of the VPK classroom. The monitor informed the teacher, director, and program owner of the inadequate supervision requirement. The following ratios were observed: 2's 1:5, 1:9 3's 1:11, 1:14 4's 1:13 VPK 1:16 (Ratio brought into compliance when the teacher returned to the group) Following progressive enforcement procedures, a Notice of Violation is being issued for Inadequate Supervision as this standard was previously cited out of compliance on 3/18/25

10-01 · Child Discipline/Child Abuse

During today's revisit inspection unrelated to discipline, I observed a teacher on the playground, sitting on a bench, bent over and yelling at a child's face while she held his hands, then she proceeded to slap him on the hand. I rushed to her and on my way to her I said "hey, hey, hey! you don't do that" but she did not turn to me. When i arrived at the fence I said "you don't do that" and we started to have a discussion at that point. The teacher was telling me that the child slapped her so she hit him. I reminded her that she is not his mother and that she has no right to hit the child. She proceeded to tell me that he has been hitting her since yesterday and that she isn't going to let him keep hitting her. I reminded her that she is an adult, the child is two years old and she cannot put her hands on the children. A notice of violation is being issued. The section number cited above in incorrect. The correct section number is Sec. 7-34, Ordinance and Section 2.8(F), Handbook
