 Provider Comments
Violation
Appropriate care, safety and/or supervision of children was not provided while transporting children as evidenced by On March 26, 2025, Staff Kara Little, Autumn Stonage and Brianna Veach and were outside putting children on the bus when a parent stepped in and told her they were going to the school and could take 2 school aged children, Child A and B, to the school for her. Staff Kara Little allowed the children to get in a car with the parent. (This parent was neither of the children's parent or relative). The parent did not have written permission on any enrollment forms to transport the children or pick the children up from the center. Kari Miller called the school immediately to check on the children and assure they were at the school. She then called the parents of both of the children and reported to them what had happened earlier that morning. A staff meeting has been scheduled for next week to review the rules for admitting and dismissing children at the center. The facility will send notes from the meeting and a signed statement from all the employees that they understand the licensing rules. The signed statement and meeting agenda will be sent to the Office Of Childhood. Staff Kara Little no longer works at the facility.
Licensing Rule Reference

Correction Required
Children shall be safe and supervised during off-site activities.
