Plan: The program states they will make sure to have the therapists work with their children outside of the classrooms, she will have to double check for the children who have therapy through-out the day, if they are able to work with their children outside of the classrooms but they will ensure this is implemented. She stated the program will ensure when the children are going to the bathroom they will also be supervised considering this incident seemed to have occurred in the bathroom. She stated we have been working here a long time and we can get complacent, so the program is going to work on this with staff, a refresher course. |

Plan: The program serves infants through kindergarten students in childcare classrooms that are separate from first grade through high school students in designated school-age classrooms. School-age students who are eighteen or older are supported in the wing of the building (added 2014) separate from all childcare classrooms. The interaction of school-age students eighteen or older with childcare students is limited to actively supervised, inclusive, schoolwide activities that use strategic grouping to ensure safety of all students. At drop off and pick up, while families supervise their own children, school-age students may pass childcare students in shared hallways. |
