| Children were not adequately supervised at all times. Based on staff report and video footage on July 02, 2024 at 10:35 am there were two (2) teachers and seven (7) children leaving the classroom to go to the playground. One teacher was observed in the front of the line leading the children outside, while the other teacher was in the back of the line. When the teacher leading the line opened the door and exited the building, a 19-month-old child left the line, went over to the indoor play area and storage cabinets. The teacher in the back of the line stopped to speak with another teacher leaving a lapse in supervision and did not see the child leave the line. Once both teacher and children were outside the teacher counted and noted that not all children were accounted for. As the teacher came back inside the child was coming around the corner towards the playground exit doors. Based on the video footage reviewed the child was left inside unsupervised for 1 minute and 27 seconds. During my walk through I observed children one-through-two-years of age in classroom 6 sitting at the table eating cheese sticks and crackers while one teacher was changing diapers and the other teacher was walking around with another child and her back was turned towards the children eating. | |||
