Today, the following items, in addition to the allegations, were monitored: • Supervision • Staff / Child Ratio • Adequate / Approved Space • License Posted • Permit Restrictions Allegation #1: There are concerns regarding supervision. Observation and/or Interviews #1: I interviewed the interim principal, Ms. Casto; the program specialist, Leah Ward; and the program coordinator, Jennifer Stacey today. I also reviewed video of the incident that occurred on December 9, 2024. As seen on the video the children were coming inside for outdoor play. The program coordinator was standing in the doorway as two (2) children were observed running to the outdoor area to retrieve balls. Another child was seen going to the bench and picking up a jacket or sweatshirt. He was seen throwing the article of clothing back down on the bench. The program coordinator is seen speaking to the child at the bench. There is no audio. At 4:01pm the child sits on the bench. There are no other people outdoors with the child. The program coordinator shuts the door and walks into the cafeteria with her back to the door leading to the outdoor. At 4:02pm the child walks to the door from outside and the program coordinator walks to the door from the inside. Before opening the door, the program coordinator says something to the child. Again, there is no audio. She stated that she asked the child if he was ready to come inside. The child turns his back to the door and grabs his head. The program coordinator opens the door while the child’s back is to the door. The child walks away from the door toward the bench and the program coordinator closes the door again and walks away to talk to a group leader in the cafeteria. At 4:03 pm the child runs toward the door and the program coordinator lets him inside. The door stays locked at all times. Conclusion #1: Based on my observation and information gathered during the interviews, the allegation regarding supervision is substantiated. Allegation #2: There are concerns regarding inappropriate discipline. Observation and/or interviews #2: The program coordinator was observed leaving the child unattended outside. When the child came back to the door to be let inside the program coordinator is seen saying something to him. There is no audio to know what is said to the child. It is stated that she asked him if he was ready to come inside. When he turned away he grabbed his hair and then began to walk away. The program coordinator closed the door again and turned with her back to the door, leaving him unattended again. The program coordinator asked a group leader to contact the principal for help with the child. Conclusions #2: Based on observations and interviews, the allegation regarding inappropriate discipline is unsubstantiated. The following violation was cited during today’s visit. Violation Number Comment Rule 303 Children were not adequately supervised at all times.
