746.2426(a)(1) - Infant May Not Sleep in a Restrictive Device

I observed two infants asleep secured in bouncer chairs. This was corrected when CCR staff asked for the sleeping infants to be removed from the bouncer chairs.

In plain English: An infant may not sleep in a restrictive device unless the center has a completed Sleep Exception Form with a health-care professional's signed statement that it is medically necessary. Without that form, if an infant falls asleep in such a device, the caregiver must move the infant to a crib as soon as possible. Official rule text

746.1003(4) - Director Responsibilities - Employees Supervised

Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the minimum standard was determined to be deficient. The operation had implemented procedures requiring caregivers to contact administrative staff prior to taking children outside during periods of extreme heat or when a heat advisory was in effect. However, despite these procedures being in place, a caregiver was able to take a classroom of children outside without obtaining approval from administrative staff. As a result, a child was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 14 minutes after the remainder of the classroom returned indoors. This incident demonstrated that the operation’s implemented procedures were not effectively monitored or followed to ensure children were protected from potential risks associated with outdoor play during extreme weather conditions and that all children remained accounted for during transitions.

746.1201(1) - Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control

Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A caregiver did not demonstrate good judgement when transitioning from outdoor play back to the classroom without completing a headcount or name to face check which caused a child to be left outside on the playground for 14 minutes unattended. Also, staff was aware of the incident and did not immediately report or confirm that administrative staff was aware. Multiple staff members assumed that another staff member reported the incident which delayed parent notification of the incident because administrative staff was not aware until closing time.
