8.9.4.24 · A GUIDANCE

Guidance being used by staff in the PreK Classroom is not sufficient outside on the playground as evidenced by a child being able to take the medicine box, take it under a play structure and opening it, allowing the child to take an inhaler that did not belong to the child and attempt to take it. On 4/25/24 Director discussed proper guidance and supervision for outside time with the educators involved. On 4/29/24 the two different head start classrooms started going outside at separate times, so proper supervision can be maintained. Effective 5/1/24 Director will go outside when the children are outside and make sure everything is within compliance. This will be done at least once a week.
