On 09/23/2021 an incident was reported via telephone and a written incident report was submitted. I completed an onsite inspection on 09/24/2021 with child care licensing consultant Mr. Josh Stein. There were no children in care at the time of the inspection. 2 We interviewed child care staff member Megan Cottrell from room 6 on 09/24/2021. Ms. Cottrell reported that on 09/22/2021 she and program director Holly St. Amour were taking children to the bathroom. Child B (male, 4 years 6 months) was having issues in the hall and refusing to go with the class. Ms. Cottrell stayed to get Child B under control so they could join the rest of the children. Ms. St. Amour took the remaining children to the bathroom herself. Child care staff member Nicole Barraw came out into the hall from her room to help Ms. Cottrell with Child B. Ms. Cottrell joined Ms. St. Amour at the bathroom and eventually Ms. Barraw and Child B joined them as well. Child B was still having a difficult time, so Ms. Barraw offered to take him back to class. Ms. Cottrell reported there were 12 children left at the bathroom with her and Ms. St. Amour. Ms. St. Amour told Ms. Cottrell to take the children that were finished back to class. Ms. Cottrell took 10 children back to class. When asked if she and Ms. St. Amour communicated with each other how many children each of them had when they split up the group Ms. Cottrell stated she didn't know. Ms. Cottrell returned to the class with the children and they sat down to snack. Ms. St. Amour came back to the class with one child after that. A few minutes later, maybe two minutes tops Heather Proctor head start area manager for rooms 1 through 5 brought Child A back to room 6. Ms. Cottrell confirmed Child A has very limited verbal skills. On 09/24/2021, Ashtyn Flinn, program director in room 3 was interviewed. Ms. Flinn stated she observed Ms. St. Amour on 09/22/2021 leaving the bathroom. Ms. Flinn sent children in to use specific bathroom stalls. The child she sent in to use the stall marked with a yellow circle came back out saying the stall was being used. Ms. Flinn went in to check. She could see feet in the stall, and she tried to talk to the child in the stall, but the child was not responding. She contacted Heather Proctor via telephone who came down to assist. Ms. Flinn had one of the children from her room crawl under the door to unlock it to be sure the child in the stall was ok since the child was not responding. They found Child A inside the stall. Child A had his pants down and was sitting on the toilet going to the bathroom. They shut the door to allow Child A time to finish going to the bathroom. After Child A finished and washed his hands Ms. Proctor took him back to room 6. They knew he belonged to room 6 because he was wearing his nametag on the back of his shirt. We interviewed Heather Proctor on 09/24/2021. Ms. Proctor is the direct supervisor for staff in rooms 1-5. Ms. Proctor stated on 09/22/2021 Child A was left in the restroom unattended. She was called to the bathroom by Ashton Flinn who discovered Child A was left unattended. Ms. Proctor reported Child A was not upset; he was finishing using the bathroom. Child A was not verbally responsive. Ms. Proctor waited for Child A to finish and wash his hands then she walked him back to room 6. When she took Child A into the room Ms. Amour looked and said, oh. The children and child care staff members in room 6 were all at the tables for snack at the time. Ms. Proctor advised Ms. St. Amour that this was a very serious situation. Ms. St. Amour replied, I can see you are disappointed in me and I am sorry. 3 Ms. Proctor returned to her office and emailed Ms. St. Amour's direct supervisor area manager Amanda Gascho and regional manager Paul Brown. I requested a copy of Ms. Proctor's email which she provided. In the email Ms. Proctor detailed her thoughts regarding the need for a plan in place to ensure child safety including training, using the count board in t
