| Findings: The center is licensed for a total of 60 children, there are 56 children enrolled in the morning and 46 enrolled in the afternoon. There were 2 qualified teachers and one aide present during the inspection. AlphaBest has hired an additional aide but the Office of Child Care has not cleared this person so they have not started. By the end of the inspection there were 51 children present which put the site out of staff/child ratio. The center will need to call in a substitute to work at the site until the staff person is cleared so that there are a minimum of 4 staff present. | |||
| 2023-09-26 | Full | 13A.16.03.03B(5) | Corrected |
| Findings: The center had the "Letter of Compliance" Regulations displayed rather than the "Child Care Center" Regulations. The center will need to obtain a copy of the correct regulations and switch them with the incorrect regulations that are displayed currently. | |||
