      “The provider was out of compliance with R381-100-11(1)(a) for failing to maintain active supervision of children under five years old. While transitioning in from the playground, a child ran into another classroom. Because staff did not immediately retrieve the child from the classroom, the child was able to elope from the building to the street.”
