This standard was evaluated in regard to a report and found not compliant. Children were in the gym playing with tricycles and running around, caregivers were not closed to the children or walking the areas while the children were playing. The children were observed out of control and were not properly using the equipment.

Through investigation it was determined that a caregiver present in the room had expressed to administration their unease with managing the classroom. Multiple individuals expressed that the children in the class do not listen to the caregiver.

It was found through investigation that caregivers were moving a child from one class to another during the day without the knowledge or approval from the director. This lead to a child being left unattended in an outdoor play area.

Through the course of investigation it was found that a child was left alone outside on the playground area for approximately 5 minutes unsupervised. The caregiver responsible did not account for the children in the group they were responsible for as they entered the building, nor did they scan the playground for any remaining children as they entered. The caregiver was unaware the child was missing until they entered the classroom and accounting for children was conducted. When the caregiver called to notify the office staff they were missing a child they did not know if the child was left on the playground or had left the group into another classroom as they went through the building.
