Based on staff interviews and a review of records, staff did not follow the center's own policies and procedures. Evidence: 1. The center's "Transition Tracking Policy", states that teachers are required to use the We Care Transition Tracking Sheet to account for children in their care to conduct a Name to Face Roll Call whenever a transition through a door or gate occurs followed by a head count. 2. On March 22, 2019 at approximately 5:30pm, Staff 1 took the classroom children from the 2's -3 room to the 2's- 2 room. Staff 1 stated she did not sign the children into the classroom, as she needed a bathroom break. No Name to Face Roll Call or a head count was conducted. Staff 1 did not sign into or out of the room. 3. Child A (3 years old) was left alone an unsupervised in a closed classroom for approximately 5 minutes until the child was found by their parent and another center staff member.
