    The attendance roster did not accompany the group of children in that [the facility's attendace roster was blank.].CCF Handbook, Section 7.5, A (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) Record Keeping [SR] Comments: At the time of the reinspection, the licensing specialist observed none of the staff directly supervising the children had an accurate or current attendance roster. When the licensing specialist asked the staff how many children they had in care, none could answer. The licensing specialist reviewed the facility's "sub roster report" which is the report the staff use to account for all children in care and observed there were no children signed in. Technical assistance was given to the provider to ensure daily attendance is recorded by the staff documenting the time when each child enters and departs the program and each group must have an attendance sheet/class roster for the group of children occupying that space. Attendance sheet/class roster must accompany the childcare personnel and the group of children throughout the day should they leave the classroom space (for example when the group goes outside for outdoor play, the child are personnel must take the attendance sheet/class roster with the group).
