The record for Child #5, enrolled for ten days, was missing the work phone number of each parent who has custody.”

“The center shall have a qualified program director or a qualified back-up program director who shall regularly be on site at least 50% of the center's hours of operation. No qualified program director was on-site at the time of inspection. A back-up program director visits the program but it is only one day of the week, which constitutes less than the 50% of the center's hours of operation that is required.”
