Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the center did not maintain the 1:4 ratio of staff to children.
Evidence:
During the virtual inspection, it was determined that there were 10 toddlers with 2 staff, however the youngest child in the classroom, child A was 15 months of age, which requires a 1:4 ratio.
