care facility known as Wesley United Methodist Church Mother's Morning Out, located
at 350 S Barfield Drive Marco Island, FL 34145. The facility license is currently
operating on a regular/annual license certificate #C20CO6086.
On March 28, 2018, a routine inspection was conducted, and the facility was found to
be out of compliance with licensing standard #41-02, Children’s Immunization
Records incomplete. One child did not have current immunization records on file at
the time of the inspection. This is a Class III violation of child care licensing standards.
This was the first occurrence of this Class II violation within a two-year period. As
such, technical assistance was provided.
On December 12, 2018, a renewal inspection was conducted, and the facility was
found to be out of compliance with licensing standard #41-02, Children’s Immunization
Records incomplete. One child did net have current immunization records on file at
the time of the inspection. This was the second occurrence of this Class II violation
within a two-year period. Therefore, technical assistance was provided.
. On March 28, 2019, a routine inspection was conducted, and the facility was found to
be out of compliance with licensing standard #41-02, Children’s Immunization
Records Incomplete. One child did not have current immunization records on file at
the time of the inspection. This was the third occurrence of this Class II violation within
a two-year period. Further administrative action was required.
6. The foregoing facts violate the following
Section 402.305(9)(a), F.S., which states:
(a) Minimum standards shall include requirements for preadmission and periodic health
examinations, requirements for immunizations, and requirements for maintaining
emergency information and health records on all children.
And
Section 7.1. of the Child Care Facility Handbook, incorporated by reference in Rule
65C-22.001(6), F.A.C., which states in part:

complete and properly executed Florida Certification of Immunization form Part A-
1, B, or C, DH 680, which is incorporated by reference in 65C-22.001(8)(0), F.A.C.,
or the Religious Exemption from Immunization form, DH 681, which is incorporated

required above within 30 days of enrollment, the facility shall not allow the child
to remain in the program. The parent/guardian of a child who has not received
the age-appropriate immunizations prior to enrollment and who does not have
documented medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions from routine
childhood immunizations must provide documentation of a scheduled
appointment or arrangement to receive immunizations. Providers must include
written notification to inform parents, at time of enrollment, that some children
in care may not have current immunizations....
