“The infant/toddler teacher was on her lunch break and two aides were in the infant room with the children. Center is reminded that when the qualified teacher in the infant room goes on break another infant qualified teacher needs to take her place. The infant qualified teacher is off on Fridays so the center needs to put an infant qualified staff in the room for the whole day then. Center needs to send a staffing pattern to show how this is corrected.”
