I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My son was treated very poorly here. He came home in tears daily. He was punished for having accidents during potty training. He was bruised after we put our notice in for in enrollment. Please, for the safety of your child DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE!

Noncompliance Area: At approximately 11:40 AM, Facility Person #1 and #2 were supervising 2 young toddlers, 4 older toddlers and a preschooler in the Cafeteria when Facility Person #1 took an older toddler into the preschool room to wash their hands. This left Facility Person # 2 supervising a total of 6 children, including young toddler in the cafeteria.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
For 12 years we have been having the kids wash their hands at the preschool sink after lunch with no violations. All the inspectors that I've had for the past 12 years have never said anything concerning this issue. When the inspector came this time she said we were out of ratio by doing this even though the kids were in the other staff members site. She said that does not matter that they have to be in the same room being insight does not count. So our plan of correction is going to be that we now wash the children's hands in the kitchen bathroom sink or make sure that the children can go in the preschool room to wash their hands and That will not put the preschool teacher out of ratio.
