ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the Department has imposed a Civil Penalty in the
amount of One Hundred Doliars ($100.00). As grounds for the imposition of this
penalty, the Department states the following:
1, The Department of Children and Families, State of Florida, has jurisdiction over
Respondent by virtue of the Provisions of Chapters 402.301 - 402.319, Florida Statutes.
2. The Respondent, Felecia Armstrong, is licensed to Operate All Faith Daycare
Center as a Child Care Facility in compliance with Chapter 402, Florida Statutes, and
Florida Administrative Code (FAC), Chapter 65C-22.
3. During a follow-up investigation on April 15, 2002, it was determined that the
Respondent committed the following violations:
a. FAC Chapter 65C-22.004(3)(a), in that: From counselor's arrival at
8:30 AM to 9:05 AM, there was no staff member on premises with verification of current
course completion for first-aid training.
b. FAC Chapter 65C-22.001(4)(b)(2), in that: One staff member was
Supervising a group of fifteen (15) children comprised of six (6) one-year olds and nine
(9) three and four-year olds. The correct ratio is 1:6 for the one-year olds. Therefore,
an additional staff member was required for the remaining nine (9) three and four-year-
old children.
A ratio violation was previously cited during an April O01, 2002 complaint
investigation. A warning letter was issued on April 2, 2002,
4. The above referenced violations constitute grounds to levy this Civil Penalty
Pursuant to Chapter 402, Florida Statutes, in that the above referenced conduct of
Respondent constitutes a violation of the minimum standards, rules and regulations for
the operation of a Child Care Facility.
