CARE AND/OR SUPERVISION: 14060 - CCLR s.39(1) - A licensee must ensure that children are supervised at all times by a person who is an educator, an assistant or a responsible adult.
Observation: Licensing observed 2 examples of supervision concerns during the inspection:
Manager stepped away from the change table ( no longer within arms reach ) prior to doing so fastened the change table strap.
Child strapped into a highchair was attempting to stand, the manager was by the sink with her back turned, Licensing alerted the licensee to assist the child.
In both incidences the licensee supported her actions stating that it is fine because of the lap belt. Discussed that a lap belt is not a substitution for supervision adding that staff must at all times stay in immediate proximity when children are being changed or eating in high chairs. Children may be at risk of serious injury should they fall.
Corrective Action(s): Please provide your plan to ensure children are closely supervised ( with focus on diaper changing and meal times )
