13 | On November 8th, 2022, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jeremey McClain and Katrina Owens met with Licensing Representative Susan Perkins for the purpose of a complaint investigation. At approximately 11:00 am, LPAs observed the following ratios: two staff with eight infants in Infant room G, and two staff supervising eight infants in Infant Room F.
It was alleged that unqualified staff are being used in ratio. During today’s investigation, LPAs observed ratios and reviewed staff files. LPAs interviewed the director regarding staff qualifications, roles, and schedules. During today’s inspection, LPAs observed Staff #1 and Staff #2 in Infant Room F with eight infants, one who was sleeping. Neither Staff #1 nor Staff #2 have required Infant/Toddler Care units meaning the rooms are out of ratio. Staff #3 and Staff #4 were observed to be fully qualified with Infant/Toddler units, while unqualified staff (#1 and #2) mentioned above were providing supervision in Infant Room F. Based on today’s observations, LPA determined the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the allegation is determined to be substantiated. (1/2)
