REPEAT CITATION PREVIOUSLY CITED ON MARCH 25, 2024. The licensing coordinator's review of seven children's files revealed that two did not contain the Child Care Registration and Emergency Information (April 2022) or an equivalent, as the information required in 4002.10(c) was not included on the form. One form had not been updated annually as required. The constitutes the first repeat citation and failure to comply with one approved corrective action plan regarding He-C 4002.10(a) and 4002.10(b) Corrective action: All enrolled children now have an updated registration form. In the future we will maintain compliance with He-C 4002 for registration form requirements.
