Observation: At arrival Licensing knocked on the door ( main entrance to the day-care ) children could be heard playing inside and sounds were also coming from the upstairs of the home. Licensing knocked a second time and again no answer at the door children could no longer be heard inside on the lower level. Licensing then rang the front door bell and after no answer knocked on the front door. The Licensee opened the door with all the children. When asking why the door was not opened at the main day-care entrance the licensee stated that her own 2 children were upstairs and that she had gone upstairs to collect them and asking what age children need to be before they can be left on their own upstairs? It is noted that a previous contravention to supervision practices was found when the licensee permitted her own children to remain upstairs without direct supervision , as such the licensee provided a care and supervision policy outlining that all children including her own would remain with the licensee at all times.
A copy of the written response is provided for your review.
Discussion held pertaining to supervision requirements , definition of Child and to include the licensee's own children " in care "
Corrective Action(s): Forward your plan detailing how you will ensure ongoing supervision of all children in your care. Some suggestions discussed such as supervision plan , amending the licence to Mutli-age therefore having your own children upstairs with a supervising adult.
