During the interim inspection, I found child care staff member Andrea Morris working at the child care staff member working as a staff member without being deemed eligible on the Child Care Background Check (CCBC) system. Andrea Morris' status on the CCBC states pending fingerprints. During the interim inspection, I found that two supervised volunteers had been at the center on more than one occasion without having a PSOR clearance.
