The staff member with the 2 year old group of children failed to verify attendance accuracy at transitions. Licensing Specialist discussed with her the importance of accurate transitions. The director submitted a corrective action statement at time of inspection which states " Doing transitions for during the day allows us to take children out the classroom for walks and other activities while still accounting for them all. It is very important as small children can easily wander off or be distracted when walking from one location to another. I will be going over the importance of this with daycare staff in a special meeting. I will be checking on these logs also until I am sure they are doing it with no fail."
