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 August 15, 2022, at approximately 12:30 p.m., adequate supervision and watchful oversight was not provided when a three-year-old child sustained a swollen and bruised right arm while in care. The staff person providing supervision sat in a chair completing lesson plans as the child ran out of their classroom into an empty classroom. The staff person called out to the other staff person in the empty classroom to have the child return. As the child was returning to their classroom, the child stuck their arm in the back of the door near the hinges and could not remove it. Staff were also unable to remove the child's arm and emergency medical services were called to remove the child's arm out of the door. Professional medical attention was obtained.
