As the children were completing the activity, the operator told the children that taking care of the earth is everyone’s responsibility. Lunch included turkey and cheese sandwiches, green beans, apple sauce and milk.

An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Technical Assistance with Documented Violations: Children’s Records: Record keeping is one of the most time-consuming tasks associated with managing a child care business. Maintaining complete and accurate records for the program and children is a vital part of being an operator. During today’s observation of children’s records, neither of the operator’s own preschool age children had an application for enrollment on file. Additionally, the children did have documentation of the receipt of shaken baby and abusive head trauma policy, summary of childcare law, or the discipline policy. One child’s file did not have a medical report on file. You indicated you had an enrollment application on file for one and took it. You also stated you thought you had an enrollment application in for the other child. Setting aside regularly scheduled times each week to review records can assist you in keeping up with the task. A tracking and reminder systems are also essential to keep track of tasks, due dates, and expiration dates for both staff and children. Per our discussion, you must set aside time to review files to ensure forms are complete. Checklists for children’s files can be found under provider documents on the Division’s website. Placing a copy in each file will help you to see that you have all the required information on file. Being proactive with an organized approach to record-keeping helps you ensure easy access to information when needed, especially in emergency situations. Reminders: Unannounced Visits - I will conduct at least one additional temporary time period visit. Ensure you document updates on your verification of required information for operator form for future monitoring.
