Despite this section, during the half hour before a care program begins and the half hour after a care program ends, a licensee may permit children who would otherwise be grouped in different care programs, and who are arriving at or leaving the community care facility, to be grouped together and supervised other than as required under Schedule E if a total of 8 or fewer children are present at the community care facility, of whom no more than 3 are younger than 36 months old,
Observation: Through the investigation process, Licensing determined that the Group Child Care (School Age) program and the Group Child Child Care (30 Months to School Age) program were combined for longer than the allowed thirty minutes before the care program began and that the number of children in this combined group exceeded the maximum allowed eight children. Action/s Required by Licensee: Licensee to submit a corrective action plan to Licensing specific to the contravention. Action/s Required by Licensing: On December 6, 2023, Licensee submitted a corrective action plan to Licensing. The corrective action plan stated that one Early Childhood Educator was scheduled to open the Group Child Care (School Age) program at 7:00 AM and a second Early Childhood Educator was scheduled to open the Group Child Care (30 Months to School Age) program at 7:15 AM which ensured that attendance would not exceed the maximum number of eight children allowed and the duration would not exceed the maximum of thirty minutes allowed. The corrective action plan was reviewed and accepted by Licensing.
