3270.113(a)(1) Staff assigned to specific children
“At approximately 9:54am, Staff Person #1 and #2 were observed to be providing care to 2 younger and 4 older toddlers. When asked to identify their respective supervision groups, Staff Person #1 reported that they had 5 face-to-name tags and then handed 3 of them to Staff Person #2, who reported that they were substituting for a staff who was taking a break. Staff Person #1 identified being responsible for 2 children and identified them with their name/picture tags. Staff Person #2 identified 3 children using the tags given to them by Staff Person #1, leaving one child unaccounted for. Then, Staff Person #1 informed Staff #2 that they were also responsible for the child who had not been named. It was determined that a face- to- name tag was not present for this child. Based on the approved Transfer of Care Policy, the staff who was on break should have given their lanyard/cards to Staff Person #2 when Staff Person #2 arrived. In addition, a tag should have been present for all children. Therefore, staff did not correctly implement their own Transfer of Care Policy. As a result, one child was omitted when staff were asked to name the children for whom they were responsible.”
