      3270.113(a)(1) Staff assigned to specific children

      “Based on interviews with Staff at the time of a complaint investigation it was determined that on June 30, 2026 at approximately 10:00am, Staff Person #1 left Child #1, a preschool age child, unattended in the 2 year old classroom when the rest of the classroom transitioned to the outdoor play space for water play. Based on interviews with Staff, it was reported that Child #1 was left unattended for up to 10 minutes. Staff Person #3 had entered the building to use the restroom and heard a child crying and then observed Child #1 sitting alone on their towel crying. Staff Person #3 promptly brought Child #1 to Staff Person #4 who then brought Child #1 to the outside play space and left the child with Staff Person #1. Staff Person #1 was unaware that they had left Child #1 unattended in the classroom. During the course of the investigation, it was also discovered that previously Staff Person #2 had left Child #2, an older toddler, outside in the front outdoor play space when they transitioned inside with their group of children to change diapers. Additional staff were present in the play space, but they were unaware that Child #2 was in the play space until the child's mother arrived and the child came to the gate where Staff were standing. Staff Person #2 had been assigned responsibility for Child #2 and was not physically present with the child nor did staff #2 inform the staff who remained in the outdoor play space that child #2 would be in their supervisory group. This was reported to have occurred sometime in June 2026 between 4-4:30pm.”
