Minneapolis, MN 55407

License Number: 1104087 (Rule 3)

Dear Ali Abdi Jama:

This matter arises from an Order of Conditional License, dated February 24, 2023. On March 15, 2023, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), Licensing Division, received your request for reconsideration of Citations 1, 2, 8, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 22, 24, and 25 of the 31 citations issued in the Order of Conditional License. The violations challenged by Midtown Learning Center LLC (“Midtown”) are addressed below. The unchallenged violations are deemed conclusive.

A. Reconsideration of the Citations Identified in the Order of Conditional License

Staff Qualifications and Training

1. Violation: The program did not have documentation on site to show that 1 of 1 (SP5) staff persons met the:

· education requirements of the director job classification for which the staff person was employed (SP5); and

· experience requirements of the director job classification for which the staff person was employed (SP5).

Rule Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0031, subpart 1; and part 9503.0120, item B.

Your request for reconsideration: You did not provide any information specific to this citation.

DHS’ response: A director of a child care center must (A) be at least 18 years old, (B) be a graduate of high school or hold an equivalent diploma, (C) have at least 1,040 hours of paid or unpaid staff supervision experience, and (D) have at least nine quarter credits or 90 hours earned in any combination of accredited courses in staff supervision, human relations, and child development. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0031, subpart 1.

The license holder must maintain a personnel record for each staff person at the center; each personnel record for each staff person must include, among other requirements, documentation indicating that the staff person meets the requirements of the staff person's job position and the education and experience requirements specified in parts 9503.0031 to 9503.0034. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0120, item B.

At the time of the licensing visit, SP5 was the director of the center and as such, was required to meet the director requirements listed above. SP5 was identified as the director on the program’s Summary of Personnel Information Form and identified themselves as the director. However, there were no transcripts or qualifying documentation of SP5’s education or work experience located at the center. The citation is affirmed.

2. Violation: The program did not have documentation on site to show that 2 of 3 (SP1 and SP3) staff persons met the:

· education requirements of the teacher job classification for which the staff person was employed (SP1); and

· experience requirements of the teacher job classification for which the staff person was employed (SP1 and SP3).

Rule Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0032, subpart 2; and part 9503.0120, item B.

Repeat Violation: The license holder was previously cited for a similar violation in a Correction Order dated September 2, 2022.

Your request for reconsideration: You did not provide any information specific to this citation.

DHS’ response: Teachers must be at least 18 years of age and have specific education and experience requirements based on their credentials. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0032, subparts 1 and 2.

SP1 was designated a teacher on their Personnel Information Form as well as the program’s Summary of Personnel Information Form. However, at the time of the licensing visit, SP1 was 17 years of age, not 18 years as required. In addition, there was no documentation of education or experience available at the center. The citation is affirmed as to SP1.

SP3 was also designated as a teacher on their Personnel Information Form as well as the program’s Summary of Personnel Information Form. SP3 had a Child Development Associate credential in their record. To qualify as a teacher, individuals with a Child Development Associate credential must also have 1,560 hours of experience as an assistant teacher, aide, or student intern. There was no documentation that SP3 met the experience requirements available at the center. The citation is affirmed as to SP3.

Infant Care

8. Violation: Daily written reports about a child’s food intake, elimination, sleeping patterns, and general behavior were not provided to parents.

It was determined through a conversation with a staff person that written reports are not completed on a daily basis. A staff person stated if there are concerns about a child it is communicated through a text or phone call to the parent. (Toddler classroom)

Rule Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0090, subpart 2, item D.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that daily written reports were provided in the past, but acknowledged staff switched to providing only oral reports at the request of parents. You stated that you’ve identified the issue and will comply with the rule.

DHS’ response: License holders must ensure that daily written reports are made to the parent of an infant or toddler about the child’s food intake, elimination, sleeping patterns, and general behavior. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0090, subpart 2, item D. A staff person told the DHS licensor that they do not do daily reports, and instead just call or text the parents if there are any concerns. In your request for reconsideration, you acknowledged that staff had stopped providing written reports, and only provided oral reports. The record supports finding that daily written reports were not made as required. The citation is affirmed.

9. Violation: Each infant's feeding schedule was not available in the food preparation area. (Infant classroom)

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0145, subpart 7, item B.

Your request for reconsideration: You did not provide any information specific to this citation.

DHS’ response: A center serving infants must have the infant’s feeding schedule available in the food preparation area. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0145, subpart 7, item B. During the site visit, the DHS licensor observed that there was no feeding schedule available in the infant room or food prep area. The citation is affirmed.

Behavior Guidance

13. Violation: The program violated the behavior guidance policy prohibiting certain disciplinary actions.

At approximately 5:50 p.m., the DHS licensor observed a staff person grab a child roughly by the arm and speak loudly in their face, "Where are you going?" (School Age 1 classroom)

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0055, subpart 3.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that the staff person involved in this incident was let go from the program and that a meeting was held with staff regarding the proper handling of children in the program. You stated that the problem was solved as soon as it was brought to your attention and that you apologized to the parents of children in care regarding this incident.

DHS’ response: License holders must have and enforce a policy that prohibits staff from subjecting a child to corporal punishment, including rough handling. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0055, subpart 3. The DHS licensor observed a staff person grab a child roughly by the arm. In your request for reconsideration, you acknowledged that the staff person did not handle the child appropriately, and outlined the steps you took to ensure that a similar incident does not occur again. The commissioner appreciates your efforts to minimize future risks to children, however, the record supports the citation, and it is affirmed.

Physical Environment

14. Violation: The program did not comply with cleanliness requirements; the indoor space was not clean. (School Age 2 classroom):

· There was a fork on the floor beside the table.

· There was a candy wrapper on floor beneath the table.

· The table was visibly dirty and sticky to touch. (School Age 2 classroom)

As defined in Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0005, subpart 9, clean means 'free from dirt or other contaminants that can be detected by sight, smell, or touch.'

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 9.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that due to time constraints, there was a period where classrooms were not adequately cleaned by a staff person and that switching to class activities from snack time can be a handful with some hyperactive children, and asked that DHS excuse the identified messes. You stated that you thoroughly clean each classroom and bathroom after every period of activity as well as nightly.

DHS’ response: The indoor and outdoor space and equipment of the center must be clean. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 9. “Clean” means free from dirt or other contaminants that can be detected by sight, smell, or touch. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0005, subpart 9. The DHS licensor observed debris on the floor (a plastic fork and a candy wrapper) and that the floor was visibly dirty and sticky to the touch. In your request for reconsideration, you acknowledged that the room was not adequately cleaned by a staff person. The citation is affirmed.

17. Violation: Indoor space was not available for children in attendance between 8:30 and 8:45 p.m.

It was determined through a conversation with an administrative staff person that on a daily basis between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. any children still in attendance are moved out of the facility to a staff person’s car due to the building alarm being triggered. The children remain in the staff person’s car until they depart around 8:45 p.m.

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0155, subpart 9.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that the information provided to DHS was false because the alarm can only be activated through a password on a device. You stated that the claim was likely made by an employee who was recently fired for repeatedly leaving early, moving her children out of the facility and into her care, and leaving her classroom to be attended by an aide.

DHS’ response: A minimum of 35 square feet of indoor space must be available for each child in attendance. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0155, subpart 9. During the licensing visit, the director told the DHS licensor that children would be brought out to the director's or another staff person's car to await parent pick up as early as 8:30 p.m. when the center closed at 9:00 p.m. During the exit interview, the DHS licensor was told that that practice had since been changed. If the center operates until 9:00 p.m., the licensed indoor space must be made available for each child in attendance until 9:00 p.m. By moving children to staff cars to wait for their parents before 9:00 p.m., the required indoor space was not available to children in attendance during the program's hours of operation. The citation is affirmed.

Hazards

18. Violation: The DHS licensor observed that hazardous objects were accessible to children.

There was a plastic garbage bag accessible to children in the stroller located in the hallway outside of the infant classroom. (Facility)

There was a box of garbage bags accessible to children in a tub on the changing table shelf in the infant classroom. (Infants)

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.66, subdivision 2, paragraph (e) and Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 17.

Repeat Violation: The license holder was previously cited for a similar violation in the following orders:

· A Technical Assistance Report dated April 4, 2022

· A Correction Order dated June 24, 2022

· A Correction Order dated September 2, 2022

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that a parent had placed extra clothes for their infant in the stroller and that the plastic bag must have been forgotten and a miscommunication led to it being left in the hallway. You identified steps the program has taken to prevent a similar incident from happening in the future.

DHS’ response: Plastic bags must be stored out of reach of children. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 17. Licensed child care centers must develop a risk reduction plan that prohibits the accessibility of hazardous items to children. Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.66, subdivision 2, paragraph (e). During the licensing visit, the DHS licensor observed an empty plastic garbage bag in the seat of a stroller in the hallway. The bag was accessible to, and within the reach of, children. You acknowledged that a plastic bag was left in the hallway. The citation is affirmed.

Health and Safety

22. Violation: Menus and snack did not comply with the nutritional requirements of the USDA. Menus did not include:

· a fruit;

· a vegetable;

· at least one whole grain rich food per day; and

· the type of milk (whole, 1%, skim).

Snack did not include two of the four food components identified by the USDA (fluid milk, juice or fruit or vegetable, meat or meat alternate, bread/bread alternate or cereal).

The DHS licensor observed the children being served potato chips for evening snack. Potato chips are not a creditable grain component, two additional food components were required. (School Age 1)

The menu posted in the kitchen did not show that fruit and milk were offered at dinner. There were three days the dinner menu lacked a vegetable component. The menu did not reflect a whole grain rich food item being offered at least once per day. The menu did not identify the type of milk offered to children of different age categories.

The snack menu indicated that snacks and drinks included apples, fruit, juice, crackers. However, it was determined through a conversation with staff persons that the snack menu posted did not align with what was being served to children. Staff stated that cookies, milks, chips, and sometimes apples are offered at snack in the toddler, preschool and school age 1 classrooms.

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0145, subpart 2.

Repeat Violation: The license holder was previously cited for a similar violation in a Correction Order dated June 24, 2022.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that because a high percentage of staff and children in care are Somali, the menu reflected the diet most requested by parents and staff. You also stated that you have updated the menu and are in the process of integrating a more complete menu of USDA-required items.

DHS’ response: When food is provided by the license holder, menus must comply with the nutritional requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service, Code of Federal Regulations, title 7, section 226.20. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0145, subpart 2. Each meal must contain the following components: fluid milk, vegetables, fruits, grains, and meat or meat alternatives. 7 CFR 226.20(a). The center’s menu did not include fruit, milk, and vegetables for every meal.

Snacks must contain two of the following five components: Fluid milk, meat and meat alternates, vegetables, fruits, and grains. 7 CFR 226.20(c)(3). During the licensing visit, the DHS licensor observed that children were served only potato chips. In addition, staff told the DHS licensor that cookies, milk, chips, and sometimes apples were offered as snacks to children. In your request for reconsideration, you acknowledged that the menu did not meet USDA requirements. The citation is affirmed.

24. Violation: Products to control diaper rash were not labeled with the child's first and last name.

· There were two packages of diaper wipes in the infant classroom that were not labeled with a child’s name. Through discussion with classroom staff, it was determined that the diaper wipes were supplied by the program and used on multiple children. The wipes were not labeled with the program’s name.

· There was one package of diaper wipes in the toddler classroom that was not labeled with a child's name. Through discussion with classroom staff, it was determined that the diaper wipes were supplied by the program and used on multiple children. The wipes were not labeled with the program’s name.

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 7, item D.

Repeat Violation: The license holder was previously cited for a similar violation in a Correction Order dated June 24, 2022.

Your request for reconsideration: You did not provide any information regarding this citation.

DHS’ response: A product to control or prevent diaper rash, including premoistened commercial wipes that cannot be dispensed in a manner that prevents cross-contamination of the product and container as determined by the health consultant, must be labeled with the child's name and used only for the individual child whose name is written on the label. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 7, item D. When wipes are provided by the program and used for multiple children, the package should be similarly labeled with the program name. The DHS licensor saw packages of premoistened commercial wipes, as described in the citation, that were not labeled a child’s name. Through discussions with staff, the DHS licensor determined that the wipes were supplied by the program and used on multiple children. However, the wipes were not labeled with the program name. The citation is affirmed.

25. Violation: The program did not comply with first aid kit requirements. The first aid kit did not contain:

· ice bag or cold pack; and

· oral or surface thermometer.

Rule/Statute Violated: Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 16.

Your request for reconsideration: You stated that the ice packs had been used days before inspection, and had been mistakenly not been replaced.

DHS’ response: The license holder must ensure that a first aid kit is available within the center and that the kit contains certain items including an ice bag or cold pack. Minnesota Rules, part 9503.0140, subpart 16. The DHS licensor observed that there was no ice bag or cold pack in the medical kit. You acknowledge that there was no ice bag or cold pack in the medical kit. The citation is affirmed.

B. Reconsideration of the Conditional License

Under Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06, subdivision 1, when issuing a conditional license, the Commissioner must consider the nature, chronicity, or severity of the violation of the law or rule and the effect of the violation on the health, safety, or rights of persons served by the program.

In its request for reconsideration, Midtown challenged 11 of the 31 citations and requested that the Conditional License be rescinded. While Midtown challenged the basis for many citations by stating that the issues have since been remedied, or were mere oversight by staff, this did not change the fact that in every one of the citations, the violations occurred. Of the 11 challenged citations, all were found to be supported by the record and affirmed. In total, 31 citations were either unchallenged or affirmed on reconsideration.

Midtown’s recent licensing history shows that many of the violations identified and affirmed here were repeat violations that were previously cited via correction order.

· On June 24, 2022, Midtown was issued a correction order that identified eight violations, two of which were repeat violations.

· On September 2, 2022, Midtown was issued a correction order that identified nine violations.

· The present Order of Conditional License identified 31 violations, 11 of which were previously cited via correction order or fine.

While the Commissioner appreciates Midtown’s acceptance of these issues and willingness to take steps to come into compliance, the number of repeat violations indicates that Midtown can benefit from additional oversight and licensing support. Considering the numerous violations related to the health and safety of children, it is apparent that the program has struggled to maintain compliance in multiple areas of its operations, including ensuring staff are properly trained, keeping hazards inaccessible to children, maintaining the physical environment, and maintaining staff to child ratios and distribution requirements.

The Commissioner has considered the nature, chronicity, and severity of the licensing violations and determined that a conditional license is warranted. Based on the number and serious nature of the violations, as well as the chronicity of the repeat violations, the Commissioner believes the program can benefit from additional oversight to ensure it can gain and continue compliance with licensing regulations.

Based on the following factors, the Commissioner has determined that the record supports the Order of Conditional License:

· Staff Qualifications and Training

DHS identified five violations related to staff qualifications and training, including the failure to maintain documentation that several staff persons, including the director, met the minimum requirements for their positions. In addition, the program failed to ensure that staff met training requirements for CPR, first aid, and child development and learning.

These training requirements are critical to the health and safety of children in the program, as they impact care in emergencies and day-to-day child learning. These training violations directly impact the health and safety of children, and were widespread, involving five staff persons, including the director.

The training violations are particularly concerning because they were widespread, with five staff persons, including the director, deficient in these critical training requirements. Further, the staff qualification violations indicate that three staff members, including the director, did not meet the minimum qualification required for their positions. These violations alone warrant a conditional license.

· Program Practices

DHS cited two violations related to program practices. Both violations indicate systemic issues related to supervision. For approximately 25 minutes an aide was supervising 16 school-age children alone when another staff person was required to meet ratio. In addition, there were several instances in which aides alone were supervising children when a teacher was required. This occurred in the toddler, preschool, and school-age classrooms. Having the correct staff distributions in classrooms is essential to ensure children are receiving appropriate supervision, as teachers have higher experience and training requirements than aides. These violations alone warrant a conditional license.

· Infant Care

DHS issued five citations related to infant care. These violations included not providing daily written reports to parents, not having each infant's feeding schedule in the food preparation area, unlabeled infant bottles, failure to complete crib safety inspections for two months, and failure to check cribs annually against the Consumer Product Safety Commission list of unsafe cribs. While these violations alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, they support the conditional license order.

· Behavior Guidance

DHS cited one violation related to behavior guidance related to an instance where a staff person roughly grabbed a child by the arm. The rough handling of children is expressly prohibited, and while DHS appreciates your prompt efforts to resolve the issue, it is particularly concerning that the staff person did this in front of the DHS licensor. Committing such an action in front of the licensor indicates that this may have been a common practice for the staff person. While this violation alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, it supports the conditional license order.

· Physical Environment

DHS cited four violations related to the state of the physical environment. Midtown had repeat violations for unclean indoor space in a classroom, and for failing to provide access to required interest areas daily. Children in the preschool and toddler classrooms did not have daily access to a science interest area, while children in the preschool and a school age classroom did not have daily access to sensory stimulation activities. These interest areas are intended to provide children with opportunities to explore and engage in different activities and interests on their own. Withholding access to these interest areas can limit a child’s opportunity for growth and exploration. While these violations alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, they support the conditional license order.

One citation was related to indoor space not being available to children during the program’s operating hours. Staff provided information that children were removed from the building daily from 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. due to the building alarm going off at that time. Children were placed in a staff person’s care until they were picked up at approximately 8:45 p.m. This is of particular concern because a staff person’s car is not an authorized space for child care to be provided. Children must be allowed to utilize the licensed indoor space during all hours of operation. This violation alone warrants a conditional license.

· Hazards

DHS cited one violation related to hazardous objects being accessible to children. In this case, there were two instances where plastic bags were accessible to children. This violation is particularly concerning because of the serious choking hazard plastic bags present to children and because Midtown was cited for a similar violation three times in the previous year. While this violation alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, it supports the conditional license order.

· Health and Safety

DHS cited three violations in the health and safety category. These issues included children eating their snacks without first washing their hands, meals and snacks not meeting nutritional requirements, an incomplete first aid kit, unlabeled diapering products, and critically, a staff person not being aware of reporting requirements for abuse and neglect. While these violations alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, they support the conditional license order.

· Equipment and Supplies

DHS cited eight violations related to equipment and supplies. The program did not have sufficient equipment or supplies in four classrooms. The missing items included a music source, washable toys, and crib sheets for infants, sufficient art and craft supplies and rhythm instruments in school-age classrooms, and rhythm instruments in the preschool classroom. The rules set out minimum equipment and supplies required in each classroom to ensure that children have the variety to engage in a wide variety of play and enrichment activities. The missing equipment limits the opportunity for each child to engage in play and enrichment activities. While these violations alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, they support the conditional license order.

· Children's Files

DHS cited one violation related to children’s files. One file reviewed by the DHS licensor did not contain documentation of a current physical examination within 30 days of enrollment. While this violation alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, it supports the conditional license order.

· Policies and Administrative Records

DHS cited one violation related to policies and administrative records. The program did not have documentation to demonstrate that it completed monthly fire drills for seven of 12 months in 2022, or that it completed monthly tornado drills for five of six required months in 2022. While tornados and fires may be a rare occurrence, the harm they can cause is serious enough to warrant monthly drills to ensure that staff and children know how to safely evacuate or seek appropriate shelter in either situation. While this violation alone may not warrant a conditional license, taken as a whole with the other violations, however, it supports the conditional license order.

Ø Based on the specific factors above, an Order of Conditional License is warranted to ensure that Midtown understands the relevant licensing requirements and can come fully into compliance. Due to the need to monitor Midtown for compliance with applicable licensing laws and rules, and to ensure the health and safety of children served by the program, the Commissioner affirms the February 24, 2023 Order of Conditional License.

The period of the conditional license is two years, beginning on the date of this letter. Because the terms of your conditional license were stayed pending a decision on your request for reconsideration, the terms of the conditional license begin from the date of receipt of this letter.

C. Terms of the Conditional License

In addition to the child care licensing rules and statutes, you are required to comply with the following terms:

1. Within 15 days from receipt of this order, you must provide written notification of the conditional status of your license to all parents/legal guardians.
