32 | There is a ratio of one teacher supervising no more than four infants in care. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with contact information for authorized representative and or relatives or others who can assume responsibility for the child, medical assessment, individual feeding plan, and Infant Needs and Services Plan; however, 4 of 7 files reviewed did not contain proof of Parent's Rights Notification.
LPA reviewed a sample of staff files and observed files were complete with health screening, immunization records for influenza, pertussis and measles and current documentation; however, Staff #1 and Staff #2's files did not contain proof of current Child Abuse Mandated Reporter training certification. Staff records contain documentation of meeting qualification requirements. Menus are posted at least one week in advance where an authorized representative can view them. The facility has sufficient age appropriate furniture, and equipment including cribs, cots or mats, changing tables and feeding chairs. There is indoor and outdoor activity space for infants that is physically separate.
Each crib, mat or cot is occupied by only one infant at time and cribs are kept free from all loose articles including blankets and pillows and there are no objects hanging above or attached to the crib. Infants are not swaddled while in care. During file review, LPA discovered that staff have not been logging infant sleep assessments on a consistent basis. Ms. Standridge and staff were advised that they must check on sleeping infants every fifteen minutes, documenting any sign of distress which includes but is not limited to flushed skin color, increase in body temperature, restlessness and labored breathing. Documentation for infants up to 12 months includes sleeping position if it is other than on their back. Individual Infant Sleeping Plan is completed and in file for each infant up to 12 months of age. Infants up to 12 months of age are placed on their backs for sleeping. Staff-infant ratio requirements are being met while infants are sleeping.
