Through staff interviews it was discovered that in May 2023 children were left outdoors on the playground without staff knowledge. Three (3) staff had been on the playground with the group of children. The group transitioned inside while Staff D was on break. Upon returning a few moments later to the classroom, Staff D observed Child J outdoors at the classroom window, and that the door from the classroom to the playground was closed. Staff D stated this to the other staff in the room and it was reported they were unaware that Child J was still outside. While getting Child J inside, staff noticed that Child K was also outdoors without their knowledge. This is a serious violation. |

A review of staff schedules and children's attendance on 7/25/23 found that Staff A was in the Purple Classroom from 8:15-12:00, but documents also show that Staff A signed children in prior to 8:15 and signed children out after 12:00 from that group which indicates a discrepency of when Staff A was with that group of children. On 7/25/23, Staff E shows they left at 4;25 both on Brightwheel and the paper system, yet the last child from that group was signed out at 4:43 by Staff F who had not been in that room since 8:00 am. This rule was previously cited on 2/27/23. |

A complete report will include a description of the incident, what the licensee has done to verify the particulars of what occurred, and how the licensee has taken corrective action to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to prevent a future serious violation. If such a report is received in a timely manner from a licensee with a history of consistent regulatory compliance, no child has been seriously injured or harmed as a result of the incident or situation, and the licensee has taken prompt and appropriate corrective action; the Division may, on a case by case basis and at the Division's discretion, elect to issue a warning, rather than a violation related to that incident or situation. |
