Personnel are aware of how many children are in each classroom before heading out to the playground, that information is communicated to any other personnel who arrive for breaks or when taking over the group. When it is time to come inside all children line up by the wall and are accounted for before opening the door. Children are then counted again once inside. Personnel hold the hands of any children who tend to stary from the group when making transitions. |
