REPEAT VIOLATIONAND SYSTEMIC DEFICIENCY Based on interviews, when staff are supervising children, they did not always ensure their care, protection and guidance. Evidence On June 27, 2024, at approximately 10:00am staff #1 and #2, staff in the Preschool 2 classroom, and staff #3, staff in the Toddler classroom, exited the classroom leaving child #1 (age 32 months) alone in the room. Staff #1 stated that 10 children were lined up at approximately 9:55am for her to conduct name to face before going out to the playground. The classroom became chaotic when staff #3 and the Toddler class with approximately 7-9 children entered the Preschool 2 classroom to exit to the playground. Both classes exited the backdoor of the classroom to the playground. Staff #1 lined the children up on the white fence to conduct name to face and realized child #1 was not present. Staff #2 ran back into the building to retrieve child #1. Staff #1 and staff #2 were not aware a child was left in the classroom. Child #1 was left alone in the classroom for approximately 60-90 seconds. Staff #2 confirmed staff #1 recall of events. Staff #3 conducted name to face for the Toddler classroom.
Plan of Correction:
Teachers will not enter another classroom with their children to exit to the playground if other children are currently in the room.
