The purpose of the inspection was to address a deficiency related to staff / child ratio. A tour of the facility was conducted and census was taken.
Today, LPA’s interviewed multiple staff and reviewed facility records (parent sign in and out sheets). Interviews and record review revealed that on 11/2/2023 at approximately 3:30 PM, staff #1 was in the play yard alone with 17 children. The duration of the facility staff being out of ratio is unclear, however interviews revealed that at approximately 3:30 PM, staff #2 was inside putting napping equipment away and staff #3 was on her rest break inside.
