| Findings: LS arrived on site to conduct the inspection. The Director gave LS a tour of the building as LS was gathering names of staff in classrooms as well as classroom numbers. When the Director and LS stepped over to Room 1B (currently for 2 year olds), the staff member was in Room 1A (for toddlers, none present), rinsing bottles in the sink. There is a half wall separating Room 1A and Room 1B. LS immediately pointed out that even though there is a half wall, those are two separate classrooms and there is no staff member in Room 1B. The Director called for the staff member to come back to Room 1B and explained that she needed to remain in the room where the children were present. The staff member stated she was just rinsing bottles. LS explained that per the license, those are two separate classrooms and needed to be treated as such. | |||

| Findings: LS discussed the complaint with the Director and the two staff members outside with the children on the playground at the time of the incident. LS interviewed the two staff members and both stated that the bungee cords had been left off of the side gate so the toddler child was able to open the gate and run out. One of the teachers saw her do this, ran over to her and brought her back in immediately. The teachers then made sure the bungee cords were properly secure on the gate. LS discussed proper supervision with the Director and the two staff members. LS asked what their procedures were for ensuring the gates were always secure during outdoor activity time. The Director stated the staff are supposed to check each time they go out. LS and the Director discussed more effective strategies to reduce the chance of this incident occurring again. | |||
