3270.113(a) Supervised at all times

“On 4/23/2026 at 2:32pm, Certification Representative (CR) was assessing supervision and ratio in the Young One's room. Staff Person #2 was in the lunch area with two young toddlers, getting them ready for their snack. One child was in a highchair, and Staff Person #2 was placing the second child into theirs. Staff Person #2 named both children as being under their supervision at that time. Staff Person #2 then moved into the adjoining nap room and stated that the three children napping in that room, also young toddlers, were currently under their supervision. CR reminded Staff Person #2 that they could not be providing supervision to children in another room. At that time, Staff Person #2 stated that Staff Person #3 was actually responsible for those three napping children but had stepped out to dispose of some "smelly diapers" and would be right back. CR had Staff Person #2 take the two children who were in their highchairs into the nap room with them so that they could supervise all of the children until Staff Person #3 returned. However, when CR stepped into the Infants Room moments later, Staff Person #3 was in ratio in that room. CR asked Staff Person #3 if they had been in the Young One's room. Staff Person #3 indicated that they had been in that room earlier to relieve someone and were not returning.”

3270.113(a)(1) Staff assigned to specific children

“On 4/23/2026 at 2:40pm, CR was in the Older Two's room assessing supervision and ratio. Five older toddlers were in the room at the time, three of whom were still napping. When asked to identify the children for whom they were responsible, Staff Person #4 pointed out and identified the three napping children by name. When CR asked about the two children sitting at the table, Staff Person #4 stated that those children belonged to Staff Person #5, who was taking two other children to the bathroom. Staff Person #1 arrived in the room. CR asked Staff Person #4 again, to clarify, which children they were responsible for at that moment. Staff Person #1 began to coach Staff Person #4, at which point CR asked that Staff Person #4 be able to answer on their own. Staff Person #4 became confused and started walking back and forth between the children, not able to answer. CR gave Staff Person #4 a third chance, at which time they identified the three napping children. When Staff Person #5 arrived in the room with the two additional children, they were asked to identify the children for whom they were responsible. Staff Person #5 named three children, one of which had already been identified by Staff Person #4, still leaving the two children sitting at the table not being identified. Staff Person #1 stated that since it was naptime, as long as the children were supervised, it did not matter. Staff Person #1 then stated that while the children are napping, each staff person is responsible for all of the children in the room. CR explained to Staff Persons #1, #4 and #5 that despite the children napping, each staff person must know which children they are directly responsible for at all times. If they are sharing responsibility for all of the children, they should know that and be able to identify all of the children as being under their supervision. CR waited while staff worked out the supervisory assignments for the remainder of the day before CR left the room.”
