Regulation 4.8.f.: Reports to the child's parent shall be made in the following circumstances: when a child who is enrolled and expected in an Afterschool Child Care Program does not arrive as scheduled, and the parent has not informed the program of the child's absence, the parent or authorized person for the child shall be contacted immediately.

“On 05/19/2026 Child A did not arrive at the program as expected. The Director stated that when they noticed Child A was not present they went to the school's office and learned that a substitute teacher mistakenly sent Child A home on the school bus. The bus company was called and confirmed that Child A was dropped off at home. The Director stated after learning what happened they became sidetracked and did not contact Child A's parents or emergency contacts. Corrective Action: The program will create a written procedure that clearly outlines the steps that will be immediately taken once staff identify that a child did not arrive at the program as expected. It will also identify next steps if the parent or emergency contacts do not answer their phones. Submit a copy of this procedure to Licensor [name] for review. Once approved this procedure will be reviewed with all current staff and with new staff when they are hired. Status: Appeal Period.”

Regulation 18.77: Within six months of the initial date of employment, Staff working with children and the Site Director and/or Program Administrator shall maintain an up-to-date BFIS Quality and Credential Account.

“A review of BFIS and confirmation from Northern Lights at CCV show that staff BFIS accounts are not up to date with required documentation. Corrective Action: Review all staff BFIS accounts and develop a plan for staff to submit all missing documents to Northern Lights at CCV. Develop a system of how BFIS accounts will be kept up to date moving forward.”
