The program shall maintain daily child attendance records, in either paper or electronic format, including the child’s full name, date of birth, and their arrival and departure times in the program and each room or group throughout the day, as applicable, recorded in real time by staff or parents.

The licensing coordinator’s review of the daily child and staff attendance records revealed that, in the Infant Classroom, three children signed in were not present and one staff present was not signed in, in the Transitional Ones Classroom, one child signed in was not present, and in the Preschool Classroom, one child present was not signed in. Corrective action: Because the children transition classrooms in the morning as teachers arrive staff get busy and neglect signing them into/out of the room. We will continue to work with staff to ensure that children are signed into/out of classrooms as they transition to another room. Frequent reminders and checks by administration will ensure that children are signed in and out with each transition.

Child care staff shall: (1) Teach children the importance of hand washing with liquid soap and running water; and (2) Instruct, encourage, remind, or assist infants and children as needed throughout each day to wash their hands as necessary to comply with (a)(1) through (5) above.

The licensing coordinator observed that, in the Infant Classroom, staff did not assist an infant with washing their hands after changing the infant's diaper. Corrective action: Now and in the future we will work with all staff to ensure that all children regardless of age are having their hands washed after diapering/toileting. We will remind staff of Health and Safety measures and encourage them to retake trainings on Health and Safety.

Infants up to 12 months shall not nap or sleep in a car safety seat, beanbag chair, bouncy seat, infant seat, swing, jumping chair, highchair, chair, futon, moses basket, or any other type of furniture or equipment that is not a play pen or crib that meets the requirements of He-C4002.26(f).

The licensing coordinator observed that, in the Infant Classroom, a child under 12 months was sleeping in a swing and staff did not immediately move the child to a crib. Corrective action: The child had just woken and been removed from the crib and placed in the swing while the teacher prepared a bottle. The child dosed off while waiting. In the future the staff member will wait until the child is fully awake before putting them down to prepare a bottle. Administration will conduct frequent checks to ensure that staff are in compliance.
