Gloria Ainsworth daycare is a dangerous place to leave your child. They are currently covering up a sexual assault of a 2 year old that was a student at their facility. They have treated the family like it was no big deal. And one of the teachers admit it that the sexual assault happened three times before the parents were notified. I would suggest all the parents remove your children away from this dangerous facility due to the fact I am in the process of having them completely defunded and shut down. There will be a full investigation from the state of Oklahoma due to the fact that this is not the first time something like this has happened at this facility.

Plan: Playground Procedures Policy To maintain a safe and consistent environment for all children and staff, the following procedures must be followed at all times: 1. Playground Access - No class is permitted to use their classroom door to enter or exit the playground. - All classes must use the designated hallway exit and entry points assigned for playground transitions. 2. Name-to-Face Verification • Classroom teachers will complete a name-to-face check before leaving the classroom to go outside. • Classroom teachers will complete a name-to-face check before leaving the playground to come back inside. • An administrator will verify each name-to-face check before the class goes outside and again before the class comes inside. • Classroom teachers will only complete each name-to-face check once—once before leaving the classroom and once before leaving the playground. 3. Communication Equipment - Walkie-talkies are required whenever a class is on the playground. - Walkie-talkies will be stored on the metal shelf outside the laundry room. - Staff must ensure a walkie-talkie is taken outside and remains functional during playground use. 4. Staff Responsibility - Classroom staff are responsible for ensuring all procedures are followed. - Any concerns or safety issues must be reported to administration immediately. Reporting All staff and Board members of Gloria Ainsworth Child Care and Learning Center, Inc. will immediately notify Child Care Services upon the identification of any non-compliance. Failure to notify will result in immediate termination. Playground Fencing Currently the children will enter and exit the front playground through the Yellow 1 classroom, and once the fencing is extended, they will utilize the front exit. This will allow the staff to walk out of the front exit door and enter into the fenced in walkway that was previously just an open sidewalk. |

Plan: 7/12/23 All classroom staff (teachers, assistant teachers, and floaters) are required to take Foundations of Positive Guidance, Classroom Management, Building and Physical Premises Safety: Indoor Environments and Active Supervision. Staff- Active Supervision has been discussed with the teachers and they will be completing an active supervision course. We will follow the guidelines of active supervision and always have the safety of the children at the forefront of our actions. Curriculum Coordinator and Afternoon Supervisor-The curriculum coordinator and afternoon supervisor will physically check-in with the teachers throughout the day at unannounced times on an hourly basis. this will allow the administration to be proactive instead of reactive and it will allow the administration to ensure that the staff is always providing active supervision. Premises/Building-It has been found that the doors don't lock from the inside, however we are having a fence installed that will include both classrooms that have the exit doors facing "G" St. The fence will have a gate that will include a child proof lock, so that the sidewalk can still be utilized as a fire escape route. |
| Description: Serious- Supervision- 2 children existed the classroom and walked to park. | ||
