The center director, site director, family child care provider, and all staff used to meet staff to child ratios shall: (1) Be certified in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid within 90 days of the first date of employment; (2) Obtain certification in (m)(1) above by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, Emergency Care and Safety Institute, National Safety Council, or other nationally recognized organization; and (3) Maintain current certifications required in (m)(1) above.

The licensing coordinator's review of four staff files revealed that one staff did not maintain current certification in pediatric CPR and First Aid. Corrective action: LilyPad Learning Center plans to address this citation by certifying all staff who are up for certification, or will be shortly, in pediatric first aid/CPR on 5/31. All staff files will be updated with current certifications as obtained. In order to ensure this doesn't occur in the future, we will track each staff's CPR certification and schedule re-certification as needed to prevent lapses in certification.

He-C 4002.20(m)(1) · Correction status not published

A written record of a health screening for all child care staff, household members and other individuals who have 5 or more hours per week of contact with children shall: (1) Be on file at the program and available for review by the department for all child care staff within 60 days of the date of hire or the date the household member or individual begins having daily contact with children; and (2) Include, at a minimum, the information on the “Child Care Personnel Health Form” (11/2017) provided by the department, or its equivalent.

The licensing coordinator’s review of four staff files revealed that there was no record of a health screening on file within 60 days of the date of employment for one staff. Corrective action: LilyPad Learning Center has notified staff of this requirement. We will update all staff records to ensure that each staff member has an updated medical form on file, and that any new staff members meet this requirement within 60 days of hire. Any staff that does not comply with completing a health form will not be permitted in ratio until their health form is completed.
