Once inside the surveyor found ten (10) children ages eighteen-months-old to four-years-old in the Preschool room. The staff person with a date of hire of 4/15/19 indicated there was another staff person in the bathroom located in the hallway, changing a child's diaper. An interview with the staff person that arrived when the surveyor arrived found the staff person left the facility at approximately 9:50 a.m. to get her T.B. test done. This staff person went into the preschool room when she arrived. Therefore the staff person with a date of hire of 4/15/19 had ten (10) children with the age of the youngest child being eighteen-months-old by herself. The staff to child ratio with the age of the youngest child being eighteen-months old is one (1) staff for six (6) children. This made the staff-to-child ratio over by four (4) children until the additional staff person arrived at the facility. It was not determined how long the staff person was in the bathroom changing the child's diaper. It was also observed that once the staff person who was changing the child's diaper completed the task she returned the child to the infant room and then left the infant room and went to the preschool room. This left the staff person in the infant room with six (6) infants and toddlers ages four-months-old to eighteen-months-old. The staff to child ratio with the age of the youngest child being four-months-old is one (1) staff for five (5) children. This made the infant room over by one (1) child. It should be noted that the staff person who was changing the child's diaper was back and forth in the infant room and the preschool room making the infant room out of ratio for short periods of time. It should also be noted that the staff person with a hire date of 4/15/19 started preparing lunch leaving the one (1) staff person who arrived when the surveyor arrived in the preschool area with ten (10) children ages eighteen-months-old to four-years-old. The additional staff person who was changing a child's diaper when the surveyor arrived moved two (2) children from the infant room to eat lunch with the children in the Preschool room twelve (12) children ages eighteen- months-old to four-years-old while the staff person with a hire date of 4/15/19 prepared lunch. Again, this same staff person moved back and forth from the infant room to the preschool room leaving the one (1) staff person in the Preschool room out of ratio by six (6) children once the two (2) children were moved from the infant room. Although there was an additional staff person available while the staff person with a hire date of 4/15/19 prepared lunch the staff person did not remain in the Preschool room consistently to assure staff to child ratios were met.

General: Based on observation and interview, it was found that this regulatory requirement was not met. During an interview with a staff member, it was determined that the children from the preschool room would be going into the toddler classroom to use the restroom. This is so the other restroom in the facility could be used as the changing area for the infants who attend the facility since the infant room does not have a hand-washing sink. Since the preschool children would be using the restroom in the toddler room, this would cause an issue with the traffic pattern in that classroom.
