“During the inspection of the Extended Day Program, it was found that there were three Aides and only one qualified teacher. Due to the group size and ages, the Extended Care Program should be divided into two groups; one with the Pre-K children and one with the school age children. Therefore, there should be a qualified preschool teacher and an Aide with the preschool children and a school age qualified teacher and an Aide with the school-aged children. Please ensure qualified teachers are present with each group. Submit documents to qualify them or submit a variance, as appropriate.”

Please submit documentation as soon as possible to OCC to qualify these staff members as teachers or submit a request for a variance, if appropriate.

The Center must notify OCC of the ending of employment of any staff member within five business days. During the inspection, the Directors provided a 1203 deleting those staff and changing the others to substitutes. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on-site.”
