In order to do so the Director has implemented a more rigorous routine. This will include times to review the rules such as, "Do not leave the designated area, both inside and outside", and will ensure that staff are aware of all supervision requirements. The routine will be adjusted to leave time to review these rules with the children on a daily basis. Additionally, the staff will have a weekly meeting to discuss any necessary topics, including supervision. |
