High · Mar 29, 2022 · Inspection
Three caregivers in each of the 3 classrooms did not know how many children they had in care. The caregiver in charge of the younger group 5-7 stated there were 20 children, but he was not sure how many children he had because some had left. The caregiver then counted the children while I was present. The caregiver in charge of the group ages 8-10 counted the children while I was present and the caregiver in charge of the group ages 5-11 had to look at the sign in log to count the children.
In plain English: Caregivers must know and follow the state minimum standards and supervise children at all times. They must not be pulled away by tasks unrelated to caring for children, such as paperwork, janitorial work, or personal use of phones and other devices, and must pass along each child's information and parent instructions to the next shift.
