Ratios
Non Compliance Observed
The ages 5 and older group had 22 children with one staff person; this was after the other children had moved to appropriate classroom.
Numerous, Repeated, and/or Serious Non Compliance
Yes
Plan to Correct
The ratios were met during the visit, once three children left for school.

The kids now have breakfast in their own classrooms; the staff-child ratios are being met. The new staff schedule will be maintained to ensure ratios are met at all times. Director will ensure all staff review and understand ratio requirements. Children will not be accepted into care if ratios requirements cannot be met.
Regulation Description
Ratios. Ratios are the number of teaching personnel required to be physically present with a child or group of children, per Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 340 Appendix GG - Ratios and Group Sizes.
