While ADA compliance is not monitored specifically by the Department, provider is found to be out of compliance with proper release procedures: A blank permission slip was made available for field trip activities on 07/25/2025, and SC confirmed this trip was originally to the Fort Lauderdale Museum but due to booking issues the trip location was changed to TY Waterpark. The complainant alleges provider refused to allow the child (AW) to participate in the field trip activities unless the therapist (AF) traveled with the group. AF and AW were denied access to the provider van and provider instructed complainant and AF that AW was not allowed to ride the provider van and AF would need to transport AW in a personal vehicle. Complainant alleged that AW was signed into provider's care "around 7:15-7:30." Attendance logs confirm AW was checked in at 7:30.

2.7(G), Handbook: Documentation of parental permission for field trips must be on file and maintained for at least 12 months from the date of the field trip. Permission forms were not maintained. Childrens Records [SR] Comments: A complaint alleges that a field trip to TY Park was conducted on 07/18/2025, where the family and another service provider were not informed prior to arrival to facility. Complainant also alleges that a field trip to TY Park took place on 07/25/2025, where child (AW) was not permitted to be transported on the facility vehicle and was not permitted to attend unless service provider accompanied. The complaint is unsubstantiated, as advance notice was provided regarding both field trips, per Director (MA).

However, a non-compliance is issued as MA is unable to locate permission slips related to either field trip.

2.4.1(G), Handbook: In addition to the number of child care personnel required to meet the staff-to child ratio, one additional adult must attend field trips away from the child care facility to help provide direct supervision. An additional adult was not present during a field trip. Childrens Records [SR] Comments: A complaint allegation was received regarding field trip activities that took place on 07/18/2025 and 07/25/2025. Director (MA) presented an attendance document listing [15] school-age children as attending the field trip to TY Waterpark on 07/18/2025. Child care personnel responsible for providing transportation (SC) stated that the children arrived in two groups. SC was dropped off at TY Waterpark with [9] school-age children by the driver [IP]. IP then departed TY Waterpark and returned to facility to pickup the remaining children, leaving SC out of ratio. At the completion of transportation services, a ratio of [2] child care personnel to [15] school-age children was documented. Per provider, AA's therapist (NG) participated in the field trip; however, NG confirms that services provided are specific to AA and not in a capacity to provide group or field trip supervision. An additional adult was required for this field trip. MA and SC confirm an additional adult was not present during field trip activities on 07/25/2025 as, similarly, AW's therapist (AF) provides services specific to AW and not in a capacity to provide group or field trip supervision.

Sec. 7-33(e), Ordinance: Direct supervision means watching and directing the childrens activities within close proximity within the same room inside or within a designated outdoor play area and responding to each childs needs. Inadequate supervision occurred when a child/childrens needs were not met in the following incident: [see below]. Ratios/Discipline [SR] Comments: A complaint alleges that child (AW) receives transportation services to the facility and provider has not been meeting (AW) at the designated drop-off location. Complainant states that "bus drivers were left honking for over 10 minutes" and "it got so bad that [complainant] needed to get the bus driver's personal number." Complainant alleges that if no one retrieved AW, the driver would return to the school of original pickup and complainant has had to leave home or work to retrieve AW. Director (MA) states that the previous director was able to be more consistent, and the program now does not have the staffing capacity to retrieve AW consistently and is "not always able to hear" the bus arrive if needed in ratio. Based upon continuance of AW's enrollment, CCF Handbook, Section 2.4.1(C) applies where the provider is responsible to provide the supervision necessary to pick-up AW from the designated bus stop location.
