Strengths

• Staff members are familiar with the pedagogical policy and are involved in making adjustments

Violations

• The pedagogical policy plan did not contain a concrete description of the staff-to-child ratio at location level, including distribution of staff, children's needs, formation of base groups, and stability of care
• The pedagogical policy plan did not specify regular staffing schedules and break times, which are required to define the framework within which the staff-to-child ratio may be deviated from
