P.R. Laws tit. 8, § 46e
The Department of the Family shall design and establish a monitoring plan, at a local, regional, and state level, concerning the programs and services offered, including the privatized ones provided by this chapter, with the purpose of evaluating the results and effectiveness of the same. These programs shall be reviewed annually and shall be adjusted to the reality in which our Island presently lives, as well as to the new tendencies in the care of preschool children. This monitoring plan shall track the training and performance of the public servant in the discharge of his duties of offering training, improvement, orientation and education programs, as well as of the public servants taking such programs. Additionally, this monitoring plan shall ensure that the services offered, whether at a local, regional or state level, are in harmony with state and federal law concerning services to children of preschool age. The results obtained by the launching and the implementation of this monitoring plan shall be remitted annually, no later than June 30 of each year, to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico’s Governor, as well as to the Legislature, specifically including as well, the Social Welfare and the Education Committee of both Legislative Houses. Further, this annual report shall establish the way and manner in which each of these programs or training courses were offered, the amount of people who benefited from them, and the topics covered by each one, among other aspects. This annual report shall also contain, apart from all the information indicated above, an identification of deficiencies, the possible factors that may be preventing achievement of the objectives, and suggestions to strengthen and to improve such objectives.
Said annual report shall also include information about the shape and maintenance of the physical facilities in which the day care centers mentioned by this chapter are located. Recommendations for the improvement of these facilities must also be included.
The annual report mentioned shall also inform about the status, progress, prospects and achievements related to the management, operation and services offered in the day care centers.
