ALLEGATION(S): Facility is operating out of ratio INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: A subsequent complaint investigation visit was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), S.M. who met with Director (D1), A.V. for the purpose of delivering complaint investigation findings for the above allegation. LPA previously conducted an inspection on 9/22/23 and met with Assistant Director (D2), Jeanine Kramasz and on 11/7/23 met with Director A. to initiate the investigation to discuss the allegation, conduct interviews, make observations, and request documents. It is alleged that the facility is operating out of ratio, specifically that, on 9/20/23, Staff 14 (S14) was left with five children to supervise and D2 supervised the five children while S14 went to lunch. During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with the Director (D1) A.V. and Assistant Director (D2) Jeanine Kramasz and 8 staff (S1-S7 & S10) from 11/13/23 through 12/1/23. D1 and D2 denied the above allegation and stated the facility maintained a ratio of one fully qualified teacher (FQT) to three infants (1:3) in one infant classroom which was within the Department’s standard of 1:4, and one FQT to four infants (1:4) in the second classroom; ensuring adequate staff coverage.
