INFANT CARE TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS AND DUTIES
Infant Care Teacher Qualifications and Duties. Prior to employment, an infant care teacher shall have completed, with passing grades, at least three postsecondary semesters or equivalent quarter units in early childhood education or child development, and three postsecondary semester or equivalent quarter units related to the care of infants, at an accredited or approved college or university.This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on the LPA's interviews with staff and a personnel record review, the facility did not ensure that staff S2-S4 met the qualifications required to work in the capacity of a teacher. Record review indicates that S2-S4 were only qualified to work as an aide under the direct supervision of a teacher. Based on the LPA's interviews, it was corroborated that S2-S4 supervised awake children for a portion of the day without being under direct supervision of a qualified teacher, which poses a potential risk to the children in care.
