Supervision and child counts
CriticalBased on staff interviews, the incident report, and surveillance footage, the facility did not comply with the section cited above because it failed to ensure that C1, C2, and C3 remained under staff supervision. During a bathroom transition, the children separated from their classroom group, entered the facility parking lot, and remained without visual supervision for approximately seven minutes. The children were found on the sidewalk near the parking lot entrance after a passerby stopped them from going farther. This posed an immediate risk to the children’s health and safety. An immediate $500 civil penalty is assessed today.
