General: Based on observation, the following was identified: 1) During a tour of the Preschool playground, the surveyor observed a young child standing in a storage container by the fence of the playground. The child was leaning over the fence. The surveyor notified the staff person on this playground and the staff person went over to the child and unlatched the door of the storage container to let the child out. The staff person stated that this is a storage area for playground toys. 2) Children's clothing items were stored on hooks outside of the Pre-Junior classroom. Several of the clothing items were touching one another and this method of storage promotes cross-contamination of germs. 3) The cots in the Pre-Junior classroom were stacked high in a section of the classroom. There were areas behind the stacked cots where a child could go and would not be able to be properly supervised. In addition, the facility was not in compliance with 922 KAR 2:400E, emergency regulations. * The surveyor observed children from separate groups playing on the playground at the same time. This was observed on the preschool aged playground where 14 children were present, as well as the roped-off blacktop area where 14 children were present. Additionally, breakfast and lunch are served in a cafeteria to several classes at a time. The surveyor observed 23 students from different classrooms combined into the cafeteria during breakfast. 922 KAR 2:400E states a child care provider shall: Stagger playground time between classroom groups so as to separate one group of children from another. 922 KAR 2:400E also states each child shall remain in the same group of ten throughout the day without interacting with another group. * The temporary walls observed in several classrooms were not stable. A clear plastic tent wall material was used to divide several spaces. The surveyor observed several children crawling under this material to access the other spaces. 922 KAR 2:400E states that a temporary wall shall be stable. * The staff members and children over the age of six were wearing facemasks, however; several of these individual's masks did not cover their noses. Wearing the garment in this manner limits the effectiveness of the garment in preventing the spread of germs.

General: Based on Interview, this regulatory requirement was not met. An interview with staff during the investigation revealed that the facility was not in compliance with group size requirements at the time of an incident involving a four (4) year old child. Staff stated that all of the three (3), four (4) and five (5) year olds were together on the playground at the time of the incident documented as occurring on 10/1/18 at 11:15AM. An administrative staff person reviewed facility attendance records during interview and stated, "There were thirty-five (35) four (4) year old children present and twenty-four (24) three (3) year olds present". Therefore, there were fifty-nine (59) children total on the playground at the time of the incident. Since the youngest child in the group was a three (3) year old, the maximum group size would need to be twenty-four (24) children. The facility exceeded the group size by thirty-five (35) children. The surveyor was unable to determine how long these groups were together; however, staff stated that the three (3) year olds go out on the playground first and then the four (4) - five (5) year olds go out.

The teacher was observed walking out of one room and into the next. Upon interview, this staff person indicated that she was typically a floater but on that day she was "covering both groups" as the lead teacher. A review of records found one of the staff in the second three year old classroom did not have the results of a child abuse and neglect check on file therefore could not be left alone to supervise children. This person was left alone with children any time the lead teacher was covering the first three year old room.

At 8:10AM the surveyor observed two (2) staff transitioning a group of fifteen (15) children (four (4) year olds) from a three (3) year old room on the upper level of the facility to the four (4) year old classroom across the hall. After the group transitioned into the four (4) year old classroom, the surveyor entered the three (3) year old classroom and observed one (1) staff person caring for fourteen (14) children. The staff person identified the youngest child in her group as a three (3) year old; therefore, staff-to-child ratios were not in compliance. The surveyor immediately brought the situation to the attention of the staff person in charge. The staff person in charge then removed two (2) of the children from the three (3) year old classroom and placed them with the group of children across the hall. The director had indicated on a Plan of Correction submitted 3/12/15, "work schedule has been changed effective 2/5/15. Additional staff coming in at 8:00AM. Regular checks will be done weekly".

General: Based on Observation and interview, the facility failed to meet this regulatory requirement. During a tour of the facility the surveyor entered the infant classroom at 8:15AM and observed one (1) staff person caring for seven (7) children (infants and toddlers); therefore, staff-to-child ratios were not in compliance. The staff person stated that a second staff person was due to arrive any minute and indicated that she had been alone with seven (7) children approximately five (5) minutes. The surveyor observed a second staff person enter the classroom at 8:17AM. General Administration
General: Based on Observation, and interview the facility failed to obtain approval before implementing an addition to the square footage at a child-care center's premises and an increase in capacity. 1. At the time of the 12/17/14 visit it was found that the facility was caring for children in two (2) rooms on the upper level of the building that had not been approved by the Cabinet. The staff person in charge stated that a fire marshal inspection dated 12/5/14 approved the new space and indicated that she was un-aware that she needed to wait for an inspection from the Division of Regulated Child Care. 2. A tour of the facility with the staff person in charge at 1:20PM on 12/17/14 found that there was sixty- nine (69) children present. The child care license indicates that the maximum capacity is sixty (60) children; therefore, the facility was overcapacity by nine (9) children.
General: Based on Observation, interview and review of documentation the facility failed to meet this regulatory requirement. The surveyor toured the facility with the staff person in charge on 12/17/14 and observed two (2) children sleeping in Bouncy seats and two (2) children sleeping in swings in the infant classroom. The staff person in charge identified all four (4) children as being under 12 months old and stated that she had written permission from each child's parent for the child to sleep in these devices. A review of the form in each child's file labeled "Infant Parent Release Form" found statements such as "can sleep in the swing", "can have the positioning device I provide while in his/her crib" and "can have the blanket/comfort item I provide while in his/her crib". The facility did not have documentation on file from the infant's health professional stating that the infant requires an alternate sleeping position. Premises
General: Based on Review of Documentation, there was one (1) staff person hired 5/8/02 who had not completed fifteen (15) hours of training for the 2012-2013 training year. There was an additional staff person hired 1/20/14 who did not have evidence on file of having completed six (6) hours of orientation training.
General: Based on Review of Documentation, it was found that when each child is enrolled the enrollment form contains a blanket permission section for all activities including field trips off of the premises. It was also found through interview with the staff person in charge that most of the field trips are taken in the summer and for each week a list of the field trips with the date and time is given to each parent. However, the parents are not required to sign this list of trips giving their child permission to go on the listed field trips. Therefore written permission had not been obtained for each field trip off of the premises even though the initial enrollment form grants a blanket permission for transportation to field trips away from the center. Written Documentation
