Ratios
Non Compliance Observed The program had no personnel in the back sleeping room with two awake infants who were in their cribs. The infants were moved in the front infant classroom, but that made the personnel in that classroom have five children with four infants and one four-year-old which the program continued to be over ratio by one child. Outside there were two classrooms, one of the classrooms had one personnel with seven one-year-olds. Numerous, Repeated, and/or Serious Non Compliance Yes Plan to Correct We had already called parents and parents picked up two children while Licensing was here. We will maintain ratios at all times. For the future, we are going to hire more personnel and possibly some substitutes. If necessary, we will turn family away until personnel arrive so that we can maintain ratios. 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. Only teaching personnel count in ratios, unless requirements specifically state otherwise. The program is required to maintain ratios at all times. Plan to Correct Date 2024-05-01
Supervision
Non Compliance Observed The program is not maintaining supervision for two awake infants in cribs in the sleeping room by not having a personnel present in the sleeping room. Numerous, Repeated, and/or Serious Non Compliance Yes Plan to Correct The personnel brought the two awake infants into the same room with the other children. We will only use one side at one time but not both. For the future, we will hire more personnel. We agree to maintain supervision at all times. Regulation Description Supervision. Supervision is the function of observing, overseeing, and guiding a child or group of children, including an awareness of, and responsibility for, the ongoing activity of each child, and being near enough to intervene when needed. The program is required to maintain supervision at all times. Plan to Correct Date 2024-05-01
Psychological and emotional
Non Compliance Observed A four year old was put in the infant classroom as discipline for not listening while the class the child had been in went outside. Numerous, Repeated, and/or Serious Non Compliance Yes Plan to Correct We will not withdraw or deny a child outdoor play, and use appropriate discipline at all times. We will remain positive as much as possible, and use positive discipline. Regulation Description withdrawing or denying outdoor play or a weather alternate activity; Plan to Correct Date 2024-05-01
