Center capacity, ratio, and group size

WAC 110-300-0356(3) · Serious

The program was observed to have a child in care that has not yet reached 3 years old and will not be 3 until March. The licensor talked with the director and vice principal about changing the license to the age of 2 1/2 at the starting age instead of 3 or submitting a waiver for the child. It appears through conversation that the program is enrolling 2 year old children. If children are two years old the max group size in a room is 15 with 3 staff.

Training requirements

WAC 110-300-0106(12) · Serious

Staff member Y.G did not have documentation of a Food Worker Card in her file. Director, K. F. did not have documentation of completing Initial Training in MERIT and is required to complete the above trainings listed above under WAC 110-300-0106.
