The violation was corrected when upon review of sign in/out sheets for the start of September analyst found that all children in the infant center had complete and current sign in/out documentation. Director understands that drop off/pick up documentation must always start upon enrollment and be completed by parents or guardians bringing children to the facility every day.

This requirement was not met when child #1 did not have sign in sheets until the month of September though the child was initially enrolled in August. Not having sign in and out documentation is a potential risk to the health and safety of children in care.
