| Findings: Within 5 working days of its occurrence, it is required that the operator send written notification to the Office of Child Care of when a staff member has been added or deleted at a site. At the time of the inspection, there was a director on site in which the Office never obtained a 1203 to add this individual within the required timeframe. The area manager sent a 1203 on 3/31/2025 indicating that this same staff member (TA) had resigned. A staffing pattern was received on 10/27/2025 identifying this director (TA) as being the director at this site, but without a 1203 to when to add this staff member. Also on 10/27/2025, another 1203 was received with a delete date of 8/12/25 for a previous aide (MC), which is not within the required 5 working days of notification. As noted in the regulation, ensure that our Office is notified within 5 working days of adding and/or deleting staff. | |||
