Regulation 6.3: The staff/child ratio shall not exceed 1:13. When the number of children exceeds 10, another identified Staff person shall be available within immediate proximity on site in order to provide prompt assistance in the event of an emergency.
“On 10/27/2022, the program was operating with 40 children and 3 staff upon this licensor's arriival at 3:35pm. The staff/child ratio requires 4 staff to be present and working with children. The director confirmed that 44 children had been in care that day and that they did not have enough staff to maintain the required staff/child ratio. This is a serious violation. Corrective Action: Effective immediately, maintain the required staff/child ratio requirement. Submit a program improvement plan that identifies how the program will maintain staff/child ratios. By 11/16/2022, mail or email the parent notification letter as outlined above and submit the list of parents, their contact information, and who received the parent notification letter to this licensor.”
