Florida Statutes, and chapter 65C-22, Florida Administrative Code, to operate a child care facility known as
Highlands Elementary After School Learning Program License #C04DU1277 located at 1000 Depaul Dr,
Jacksonville, FL 32218. The facility's license is currently a PROBATIONARY License.
Violation #1
3. During a Re-Inspection on November 4, 2019 DCF Licensing Counselor, Brittany Thomas,
determined that:
The facility did not have documentation of one (1) staff member completion of the required training on
the training transcript in that no transcript was on file. Counselor observed one (1) staff member A.W.
personne! record that stated previous child care industry experience on the § year employment
history, however there was no transcript on file for counselor to observe whether or not the staff
member had proper training requirements completed. The provider was cited for standard 33-02 on
1
October 23, 2019 during a routine Inspection. The provider was given a corrective action due of
October 30, 2019. The provider did not submit the corrective action by the due date. The corrective
action should have been submitted to the Counselor on or before October 30, 2019 but was not
submitted until November 4, 2019. Therefore, they did not come into compliance with this standard
until November 4, 2019.
4, The foregoing facts violate CCF Handbook, Section 4.5 A-B which states: The department's
training transcript is the only acceptable verification of successful completion of the department's training.

personnel record maintained at the child care facility. Any course completion certificate not documented on the
training transcript will be considered invalid, requiring that the course(s) be retaken. Until the coursework is
retaken and completed, child care facilities will be out of compliance for the mandatory training standard.
5. The violation described above is a Class Ill violation of child care licensing standards. It is the
facility's fifth (5') Class Ill violation of Child Care Facility Standards Classifications Summary #33-02

application start date. The background screening clearance letter for M.B. was not cleared until
