Correction Required: When children are grouped in mixed age levels, the age of the youngest child in the group determines the staff:child ratio and maximum group size in accordance with the requirements in § 3270.51 (relating to similar age level). Tiered LIS: 1. The required staff:child ratios must be maintained at all times. 2. The director will collaborate with the ELRC to develop and implement a hands-free staff-child ratio tracking system, such as wristbands, lanyards, or clip-on tags, to ensure staff can identify all children in their assigned groups. Staff will conduct name checks during transitions---including moving between the playground and classroom, going to the restroom, changing activity areas, preparing for meals, and dismissal---to confirm that each child is accounted for. In addition, staff with assigned groups will verify the list of children in their care at key points throughout the day, such as morning arrival, after lunch, outdoor play, and before dismissal. The director will also complete additional verifications of group lists throughout the day to reinforce accountability, accuracy, and compliance. 3. The legal entity and director will collaborate with the ELRC to develop a monitoring system to ensure staff-to-child ratios remain in compliance at all times. No child will be admitted until ratios are confirmed by counting the children present, comparing that number to staff on duty, and verifying that the group is within the required ratio. The director will conduct daily monitoring at key times, including morning arrival, mid-day, and before dismissal. During these checks, staff assignments will be reviewed against the children present, and staff will be required to accurately identify each child by name. All monitoring will be documented in a log, which will be available for review by the Certification Representative. This monitoring system will be implemented and maintained for a period of 3 months. 4. The legal entity and director will arrange all staff persons at the facility, including the legal entity and director, to attend a minimum of two hours of in-person training presented by the ELRC. The training will focus on staff-to-child ratio requirements, strategies for maintaining compliance during transitions and staff breaks, and how to respond when ratios are at risk. The training will provide practical techniques, such as using rosters, name-to-face checks, and hands-free tracking to ensure staff always know who is in their care with a particular emphasis on accountability during playground, meal, and restroom transitions. It will also reinforce staff responsibility, effective teamwork, and clear communication with parents when a child cannot be admitted until ratios are met. The training may count towards the mandatory 12 training hours required by the Department. 5. The director shall conduct monthly meetings for a period of 4 months. All staff persons at the facility will be in attendance. The director will discuss prior noncompliance, supervision, ratio and hands-free systems to ensure compliance with supervision and ratio. Staff meeting dates, agenda, and names of staff in attendance shall be documented. The documentation shall be maintained on file at the facility for review by the Certification Representative.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
1. The required staff:child ratios must be maintained at all times. Our staff are forbidden to be out of ratio. Staff are required to stop accepting children when they are at their child/adult ratio numbers. Staff and parents have received letters and we posted the letter as well notifying them of the ratio and that no more children will be accepted in the center until more staff members arrive. As staff are getting closer to being out of ratio, they will start contacting parents and let them know what the situation is and when/if they will be able to bring their child to the center. If a staff person gets ill during the day, we will start calling parents and emergency contacts to pick-up their children to make sure we are not out of ratio. correction date - August 11, 2025. 2. A hands-free staff-child tracking system has been made. The staff have a necklace with the name, birthdate, age, parent's name, and contact number. Each classroom has a roster with the names and contact numbers of each child, including age, and birthday. Staff are asked to identify their children at least three times per day during transitions for the correct pronunciation, and to identify the children under their care. Center roster and a classroom roster listing the children are in each class. This was completed August 11, 2025 We are in the process of taking pictures to include them on the name tags. We are in the process of scheduling a Supervision Training with our coach. We are developing attendance sheets to use to take attendance at least three times per day, during diaper changing, transitions internally within classrooms and during outdoor play, and any transitions between classes or staff. The director will track and monitor the attendance sheets, and throughout the daily attendance tracking. This is scheduled to be ongoing after we get started after our training tentatively by October 31, 2025. 3. Again, staff are prohibited to being and staying out of ratio, especially in the morning when the day is beginning. No children will be admitted if staff will be out of ratio. Staff are required to count the children, the ages of the children, and inform the parents of the situation in advance if possible. Parent's will be informed when and if they can bring their child(ren). This started again on August 11,2025. We will add more items and information after our training. We will work with the ELRC to develop new policies, procedures and monitoring system to ensure that we maintain correct child to staff ratio. The director will conduct daily monitoring checks and will document all checks in a log. Correction date -- December 31, 2025. 4. We have been in contact with our coach, we are scheduling training on Supervision, this training will cover the various violations to help us put plans and strategies in place. Our coach will also complete follow-up training. Correction date December 31, 2025. 5. The director conduct monthly meetings that will include compliance issues, training sessions, supervision, ratio, and hands-free systems, updates on the supervision training from ELRC in weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual strategic planning sessions. The meetings will be documented and typed so that everything will be documented for training purposes and to be in compliance.
