REPEAT CITATION PREVIOUSLY CITED ON APRIL 22, 2022, AND OCTOBER 2, 2024. The licensing coordinator's review of four staff files revealed that three full time staff members did not complete 18 hours of professional development in 2024, and one staff member had not completed all of the health and safety trainings within 90 days of employment. This constitutes the second repeat citation and failure to comply with two approved Corrective Action Plans regarding completion of annual professional development hours, one repeat citation and failure to comply with one approved Corrective Action Plan regarding completion off health and safety trainings. Corrective action: I understand this is a repeat violation and it solely rest on me as a director. I instructed my staff to have all education hrs. needed for 2025 by Feb 28th as I was submitting for renewal. they did! However I did not realize with this visit those hr. cannot count. still a tad confused. however, i have created a monthly log going forward to ensure staff gets a minimum of 4 hrs. each monthly going forward. As for myself i need to be more proactive as well on self recording
