“Based on a review of the documents contained on the bus used to transport children daily to and from public school, it was determined that the licensee did not ensure that the center shall prepare a document containing local emergency contact information, potential shelters, hospitals, evacuation routes, etc., that pertain to each site frequently visited or of routes frequently driven by center staff for center business (such as field trips, pickup/drop off of children to or from schools, etc.). This document must be kept in vehicles that centers use to transport children to and from the center. Evidence: 1. Neither of the facility's vehicles used for transporting children contained the required emergency document. 2. Staff #5 (Program Director) confirmed that the facility's vehicles did not contain the required emergency document.”
