On 8/15/22, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) V. Wheatley conducted a Plan of Correction inspection at 12:00 PM to verify that the deficiencies cited on August 5, 2022 for operating out of ratio was corrected.

LPA arrived and observed the licensee Ms. F. Agange with 6 infants at a table, 2 infants sitting in swings, and 4 infants with teacher #1 in the infant play area. This is a total of 12 infants with two staff which is a Title 22 Regulation violation.

LPA observed teacher #2 in the infant napping room with 6 infants of which one was awake. This same deficiency was cited on August 5, 2022.

Licensee states that she was fully staffed until Staff #5 got ill and Staff #6 had a medical appointment today.

The licensee is being cited for a repeat violation.

See LIC 809D for the deficiencies. A civil penalty is being assessed.

A copy of this report must be provided to every parent that has a child enrolled in the infant program.

Licensee will submit another Plan of Correction to the Department by 8/16/22 with how they will prevent this deficiency from reocurring. The plan the licensee submitted is not working. Therefore, LPA is recommending the licensee sign up with an agency such as Child Care Careers to call in qualified teaachers when the facility is short of staff. Licensee agrees.

This was evidenced by - LPA observed 6 infants with Staff #2 in the napping room. One child was observed awake. This is a repeat violation as all children must be asleep. In addition, LPA observed the licensee and Staff #1 with 12 infants. There was no staff available. This is a immediate risk to the health & safety of children in care.
