ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED the Department has imposed a Civil Penalty in the amount of One
Thousand One Hundred Sixty Dollars ($1,180.00) and PROBATION. The Department's authority and
grounds to impose this sanction are explained below:
1. The Department of Children and Families is authorized by section 402.310, Florida Statutes, to
sanction WAYMAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION d/b/a Highlands Elementary After
School Learning Program for violations of child care licensing standards in sections 402.301 - 402.319,
Florida Statutes, and chapter 65C-22, Florida Administrative Code.
2. WAYMAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION is licensed under chapter 402,
Florida Statutes, and chapter 65C-22, Florida Administrative Code, to operate a child care facility known as
Highlands Elementary After Schoo! Learning Program License #C04DU1277 located at 1000 Depaul Dr,
Jacksonville, FL 32218. The facility's license is currently a PROBATIONARY License.
a During a Re-Inspection on November 4, 2019 DCF Licensing Counselor, Brittany Thomas,
determined that:
The facility did not have documentation to show child care personnel had begun the introductory
training within 90 days of employment in the child care industry. A.W. child care industry start date
August 2018, employment date on form 5131 was October 23, 2019 routine inspection was September
24, 2019. A.W. has not started training as of re-Inspection dated November 4, 2019. A.W. is now other
personnel as of this re-inspection.
4. The foregoing facts violate CCF Handbook, Section 4.1 and 4.5 A-B which states: Child care
personne! including volunteers who work 10 hours or more per month must begin training within 90 days of
employment in the child care industry and successfully complete the department's training within 12 months
from the date training begins. Training completion may not exceed 15 months from the date of employment in
the child care industry in any licensed Florida child care facility. This may be accomplished by classroom
attendance in a department-approved training course, acquiring an educational exemption from a department-
approved training course, beginning a department-approved online chiki care training course, or by receiving
results from a department-approved competency examination. The child care program is responsible for
obtaining training documentation from child care personnel. The department's training transcript is the only
acceptable verification of successful completion of the department's training. A. A copy of the department's
Training Transcript may be obtained from the department's website at www.myfifamilies.com/childcare. B. A
copy of the training transcript must be included in each staff member's 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.
