CARE AND/OR SUPERVISION: 14020 - CCLR s.34(2)(a) - Without limiting subsection (1), a licensee must ensure that (a) children attending a community care facility are divided into groups, with each group having no more children than that permitted in Schedule E.
Observation: Licensing observed the attendance record for the Group Child Care school age program (GCC SA) was located in the Group child care 30 months to school age program (GCC 30-SA). In discussion with the Manager, Manager stated that the GCC SA children enter and leave the facility through the main door and walk through the GCC 30-SA program when leaving to go to school and when returning from school. This is considered mixing groups and Licensing has concerns that this would cause disruption for the GCC 30-SA program as a visual and noise distraction. Manager stated that this process has been in place for the 7 years that she has been employed at the facility.
Corrective Action(s): As there is a second entrance to the side of the building, Licensing strongly recommends that this door is utilized as the entrance/exit for the GCC SA program as it does not lead into the GCC 30-SA space at all. Families will also need to be notified of the change to avoid walking through the GCC 30-SA space to collect/drop off their child/ren.
