Sec. 7-33(e), Ordinance: There shall be at least one child care staff member providing direct supervision at all times when one or more children are present. At no time shall any children be left alone for any reason without direct supervision by a child care staff member. Direct supervision means watching and directing the childrens activities within close proximity in the same room or within a designated outdoor play area, and responding to each childs needs. Child care personnel and volunteers at a facility must be assigned to provide care to a specific group of children and be present with that group at all times during the day, including during meals, napping, and transportation of children 2.4.1(B), Handbook: Children must never be left inside or outside the facility, in a vehicle, or at a field trip location by themselves. Lack of direct supervision was observed in the [older 2s classroom]. (Section 2.1(A) Health and Safety, Page 3) Ratios/Discipline [SR] Comments: Upon arrival the following was observed; A teacher (A) emerged from the right side of the building and opened the door for me. She informed me that the director was off-site and that she would notify her that I was here. I told her that i would start my inspection and proceeded to the 2y/o area. When I arrived near the 2y.o classrooms, a 2 y.o. teacher (B) was observed sitting in the hallway, facing the two 2y/o classrooms. The classrooms were right next to each other and shared a wall. The second teacher, teacher A, was walking down the hallway toward her classroom. I asked her who was in her classroom while she was out of the classroom. She responded that the 2y/o teacher that was sitting in the hallway was covering both classes. I informed her that it was unacceptable and that each classroom must have an assigned teacher inside the classrooms. I asked teacher B to go into her classroom. She informed me that she didn't want to wake up the children and that is why she was sitting at a table in the hallway. I informed her that it is not allowed. Children in the 2y/o classrooms: 2y/o (Jonah classroom) eight children, 2y/o (Noah classroom) seven children. Provider was informed that a non-compliance and class1 notice of violation is being issued. 08.
