The purpose of the meeting was to discuss recent citations and regulatory requirements for daycare centers. On 5/23/24, the Department made a complaint site inspection and found an infant alone in an unlicensed room and cited a Type A deficiency for Limitation on Capacity, Section 101161(a). Seconds after LPA observed the infant in the room a staff member (not working at the time) came in the room and took the child off campus. This facility is not licensed to care for infants. During the same inspection, records review found 5 out of 5 staff transcripts were missing or did not meet regulation requirements as proof of qualified teaching credentials and cited a Type A deficiency for Teacher-Child Ratio, 101216.3(a) due to a lack of proof that fully qualified teachers were supervising children in the classroom. All deficiencies have been cleared as of meeting date. The following Regulations were reviewed and a copy of each listed were provided to Licensee electronically: 101161(a) Limitation on Capacity, 101216.3(a) Teacher-Child ratio, 101229 Children Supervision, and 101216.1 Teacher Qualifications. LPM/LPA also discussed ensuring staffing is sufficient to meet the children's needs and the need for the Director to be available to cover Director duties versus working in a teacher capacity. Licensee was also provided with the CDSS Child Care Licensing (CCL) Center Child Care Providers Resource link with instructional videos: https://ccld.childcarevideos.org/child-care-center-operators/. It is recommended for Licensee to review the videos including, but not limited to: Supervising Children in Child Care Centers and Teacher-to-Child Ratios.
