General: Based on observation and interview, the child care center failed to maintain state regulations. The Infant/Toddler combined classroom contained twelve (12) children ranging in age from three (3) months to twenty-three (23) months. At the time of survey, there were three (3) staff members in the classroom, though one (1) was only present to prepare lunch items. The two (2) staff working in the classroom identified the children present as seven (7) toddlers and five (5) infants. Based on the youngest child's age of three (3) months, the ratio of this classroom should be one (1) staff to five (5) children, for a maximum of ten (10) children causing the room to be over ratio by two (2) children. It should be noted the room was sectioned into an infant side and a toddler side, though at the time of survey the three (3) month old child was lying on a blanket on the floor of the toddler side of the room, thus the room was being utilized as a combined classroom and not two (2) separate spaces. The staff in charge later indicated she was unaware of the children using both sides of the room and believed that one (1) year old children could not be in a classroom with (2) year old children which led to the number of children present in the Infant/Toddler classroom.
