Regulation: 3270.131(b)(2)

Description: Toddler/preschool: updated health report every 12 months

Noncompliance Area: A renewal inspection was conducted on 12/9/2025. At that time, a sample of children's files was reviewed. Health assessments on file for Child #1 were dated 5/22/2024 and 5/20/2025. The health assessment dated 5/20/2025 was reviewed and determined to be not acceptable, as the date and signature could not be verified.

2025-12-09 Renewal 3270.35(b)(2) - Bachelor's, 30 credits + 1 yrs Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.35(b)(2)

Description: Bachelor's, 30 credits + 1 yrs

Noncompliance Area: A renewal inspection was conducted on 12/9/2025. At that time, staff files were reviewed. Staff Person #2 was listed by the facility as a Group Supervisor (GS); however, the education documentation on file qualifies Staff Person #2 as an Assistant Group Supervisor (AGS). The facility did not have documentation on file verifying that Staff Person #2 has 30 credit hours in early childhood education, child development, special education, elementary education, or a related human services field, as required to meet Group Supervisor qualifications.

Correction Required: A group supervisor shall have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, including 30 credit hours in early childhood education, child development, special education, elementary education or the human services field and 1 year of experience with children.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)

2025-06-09 Allocated Unannounced Monitoring 3270.106(a)/3270.119 - Clean, age appropriate/Infant sleep position Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.106(a)/3270.119

Description: Clean, age appropriate/Infant sleep position

Noncompliance Area: During allocated unannounced monitoring conducted on 6/9/2025, an infant reported to be 2 months old by staff was observed to be asleep in an infant rocker seat. There was no documented medical reason signed by a physician, physician's assistant or CRNP on file at the facility requiring the child to sleep like in that position.

Correction Required: Individual, clean, age-appropriate rest equipment shall be provided for preschool, toddler and infant children as agreed between the child's parent and the operator. The rest equipment shall be labeled for the use of a specific child and used only by the specified child. Infants shall be placed in the sleeping position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics unless there is a medical reason an infant should not sleep in this position. The medical reason shall be documented in a statement signed by a physician, physician's assistant or CRNP and placed in the child's record at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Upon notification of the violation, the infant was immediately repositioned to sleep in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommended safe sleep guidelines. At this time, no medical exception has been provided. All staff were reminded and retrained of the strict adherence to safe sleep practices and the importance of documenting any medical exceptions signed by authorized healthcare professionals.
2025-06-09 Allocated Unannounced Monitoring 3270.151(a) - 12 months prior to service and every 24 months thereafter Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.151(a)

Description: 12 months prior to service and every 24 months thereafter

Noncompliance Area: During allocated unannounced monitoring conducted on 6/9/2025, the most recent health assessment on file for staff person #1 is dated 3/22/2023, which is past 24 months.

Correction Required: A facility person providing direct care who comes into contact with the children or who works with food preparation shall have a health assessment conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in a child care setting and every 24 months thereafter. A health assessment is valid for 24 months following the date of signature, if the person does not contract a communicable disease or develop a medical problem.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
We acknowledge that the health assessment on file for staff person #1 was not updated within the required 24-month period. Upon identifying this, the staff member went to the doctor and completed the health assessment on 6/9/2025 but forgot the required Health Assessment form. The updated assessment has now been completed, but the doctor needs to fill out the childcare employee health assessment form. She dropped off the form, but the doctor's office staff told her that it will take from 5 to 10 business days to be done. They will notify her when they have it ready. Then the health assessment will be on file for staff person # 1 and will be ensuring compliance with the requirement that a health assessment is valid for 24 months, provided no communicable disease or medical problem develops.
2025-06-09 Allocated Unannounced Monitoring 3270.27(a)(6) - Emergency plan Compliant - Finalized

Correction Required: Emergency drills shall be conducted annually. Annual emergency drills shall be documented and on file at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Upon review, we discovered that the annual emergency drill had in fact been conducted but had not been properly posted at the time of the monitoring visit. This issue has since been resolved by ensuring the most recent emergency drill documentation is updated and posted at the facility, as required. Enclosed you will have a copy of the emergency drill that was done on 4/3/2025 and posted on 6/9/2025.
2025-06-09 Allocated Unannounced Monitoring 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4) - Comply with CPSL/CPSL information Compliant - Finalized

Staff Person #2 may not be present in or work in a child care position while child care is occurring at the facility until updated NSOR clearance is on file at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Upon being informed of the issue, staff member #2 was promptly reassigned from any childcare-related duties pending receipt of updated NSOR clearance documentation. Staff member #2 was a bus driver, and since the monitoring occurred on the last day of school, it was feasible to suspend their duties until the updated documentation was provided.

For staff member #3, clarification was given that the employee had been on extended leave and returned in February 2025. The required updated NSOR clearance was ordered upon their return. The NSOR clearance was received on March 18, 2025, and is already included in her file.

Additionally, we have since posted the required staff-to-child ratio charts---including mixed-age and naptime ratios---in both English and Spanish in each classroom, as mandated by § 3270.51.
