591-1-1-.32(7) · Rule 591-1-1-.32(7) requires that children shall be supervised at all times appropriate to the individual age, needs and capabilities of each child. Such supervision must include, but not be limited to, indoor and outdoor activities, mealtimes, naptime, transportation, field trips, and transitions between activities. "Supervision" means that the appropriate number of Staff members are physically present in the area where children are being cared for and are providing watchful oversight to the children, volunteers and Students-in-Training. The persons supervising in the child care area must be alert, positioned to maximize their ability to hear and see the children at all times, and able to respond promptly to the needs and actions of the children being supervised, as well as the actions of the volunteers and Students-in-Training, and provide timely attention to the children's actions and needs. Staff shall be attentive and participating with all children during mealtimes and shall be seated within an arm’s length away from children thirty-six (36) months of age and younger.

During an investigation, it was determined that on February 5, 2026, at approximately 4:55 p.m., adequate supervision was not provided when a 3-year-old child sustained a cut to the forehead. During the transition between center time and snack time, the 3-year-old child climbed over a child-sized couch to play behind a stack of 24 cots that had been pushed against a wall. When the child stood up, they hit their forehead on the bottom of a cup dispenser. The child sustained a cut to the forehead and received professional medical attention. Two staff members were present in the classroom but were not positioned to see all of the children and were not aware of the child’s location in the classroom until the incident occurred.
