Violation
 Provider Comments
Violation
The director is not routinely on duty as required, as evidenced by at the 5/30/2018 inspection the approved director had no attendance records on site to verify her work hours. At the 10/3/2018 inspection, attendance was observed but did not indicate Ms. Susan worked 40 hours each week. Additionally, Ms. Susan was not present for today's inspection and due to staff being needed for ratios it was difficult for Ms. Brenda (in charge) to complete the Director's duties while still maintain ratios and supervising children. Ms. Brenda had to continuously keep leaving the group to obtain documents in the front office and therefore it was decided that instead of continuing to look, she would stay in the classroom. Additionally, Ms. Brenda stated that today may be Susan Vogt's last day. She will contact CCFS Dixon with more information. On 04.11.19 Brenda stated that Susan Vogt is not the director but still works at the facility as needed. There is no approved director.
Licensing Rule Reference
19 CSR 30-62.102 Personnel (2) (A) 2. states: Center directors and group day care home providers routinely shall be on duty during the hours of highest attendance a minimum of forty (40) hours per week. If the facility operates less than forty (40) hours per week, the center director or group day care home provider shall be on duty at least fifty percent (50%) of the operating hours.
