Complaint·June 6, 2022

On 5/24/2022, LPA Risher conducted interviews with child 1-3. The center recently lost 3 teachers. Staff stated the center utilizes a sub system to maintain teacher-child ratio. The center has on on-going order for subs with Childcare Careers. Director has adjusted her schedule when needed to arrive earlier. There are 8 teachers total (2 in each classroom). Staff stated that there is one opening teacher and additional teachers arrive starting at 7:30am. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the above alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation of Ratio is found to be unsubstantiated. The center has a contract which includes the use of subs to maintain proper teacher-child ratio. Staff communicate with each other during times when staff may be absent. The Interim Director along with the Director are used as back-up staff in addition to the subs. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided. Appeal rights were reviewed and provided.
