They redid the rosters, so it's face to name recognition instead of just head counts. Teachers have implemented playground rotation. Managers will randomly go outside and check on children and teachers, Also, staff were advised if they are having challenges they can use the walkie talkie to call for assistance. Documentation and sign in sheets provided to LPA during today's visit. A zero tolerance civil penalty will be issued and Mrs. Smith will ensure the LIC 9224s are completed within 24 hours.
