A video recording from an incident on 9/24/21 from 3:28-3:32p.m. was viewed.

Child # 1 was viewed unable to climb back over the fence to get into the play area at roughly 3:32p.m. and a parent picking up their child at the facility was viewed lifting the child back over the fence. Child # 2 was unable to be identified due to the quality of the video. Staff # 1 and Staff # 2 were identified and confirmed that they were the staff responsible for this group of preschool children. During interviews, both staff stated they were a combined group and neither identified that Child #1 was in their group. Staff # 1 was seen in the video near the brick stairs tending to a child crying on the bench and later to a group fighting in the playhouse right next to the brick staircase. Staff # 2 indicated they were talking two children, putting 2 kids in timeout and going to the door to ask staff inside what needed to be done because it was time for Staff # 2 to leave for the day. Staff # 1 and Staff # 2 were unaware the children had been climbing over the fence and left the play area during this time. On 9/24/21, Staff # 3 began the day with Child # 1 in their supervision group. Staff # 4 then relieved Staff # 3 and stated it was assumed Child # 1 was in their group, but no appropriate discussion had taken place as to Child # 1 being in their group. Staff # 4 took Child # 1's group to the outdoor play area and this child's group was combined with Staff # 10 and Staff # 1's group. Again, no communication occurred indicating which staff was supervising which children. Staff # 10 was then relived for the day by Staff # 2. Again, no communication occurred indicating which staff was supervising which children.

Through these interviews it was determined a lack of supervision occurred involving Child # 3. Staff # 11 had been doing rounds at the facility. Staff # 11 walked into the outdoor play area and was approached by several children. These children told Staff # 11 that Child # 3 was over the fence. A storage shed in the outdoor play area has a gap of about 5 feet between the shed and the fence near Strawberry Ave. where a small fence was added to both sides of the gap to prevent children from having access. Child # 3 was found in this section behind the shed, unable to be supervised by staff on the playground. Staff were not aware the child was in this area. Staff # 11 could not identify what staff were in the play area during this incident.”
