The facility did not provide adequate supervision in preventing harm to a child. As stated in the childcare facility handbook, children must receive supervision and care in accordance with their age and required needs. The children required extra help from the provider to keep the children safe, when just 2 childcare personnel were unable to prevent a child getting harmed continuously in their care. When interviewing the staff, toileting/diapering was the most frequent time the child would do the biting. Teachers were unable to prevent others getting harmed and struggled to find ways that would prevent biting. 2.4 Supervision H. Children must receive supervision and care in accordance with their age and required needs and be accounted for at all times while bathing or toileting.
