  • RECORDS AND REPORTING / Records For Each ChildNon-critical

    A record for each child containing the daily attendance record, indicating for each day whether the child is absent or, if the child is present, the time of arrival and departure is not kept. [CCLR Sec. 57(2)(c)]

    Observation. Facility has some children that attend on a drop-in bases and staff do not have prior knowledge before the start of the program as to which children to expect. Sometime these children are playing after school with friends and/or siblings and the line of who is responsible gets blurred for program staff. Without a determined enrollment for each day, it is hard to ensure ratios are maintained and difficult for staff to know when to follow-up on children that don't show up after school.

  • STAFFING / Emergency Training and EquipmentNon-critical

    Fire drills are not practiced at least once each month. [CCLR Sec. 22(2)(b)]

    Observation. Staff advise that they have not practiced a fire drill for months. Staff onsite today had no knowledge of this requirement.
