Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The teacher that was responsible for the child was removed from the infant program permanently as well as formally written up. They were also required to complete 3 supervision trainings and 1 supervision vodcast by March 6, 2026. The other teachers present were also formally written up and had to complete all the supervision trainings and vodcast as well. All of these trainings by all parties involved were completed by the due date. The managers of the school have been conducting surprise documented walkthroughs at different times of the day to make sure that all staff in all classrooms are implementing the systems that are in place to ensure that no child is left behind. These systems include the use of tags and transfer of care sheets correctly completed as the children come and go for the day. The staff are also required to tell us the number of children they are in charge of. This documentation can be found in the school office upon request. We have also been conducting surprise fire drills using a bull horn so that our staff and children get more familiar with sound of an alarm, which due to the nature of our building's set-up the alarm only sounds in an emergency and at our yearly alarm check. I have also been giving the school's assistant director extensive hands-on training for completing emergency drills. So that they feel confident in any emergency situation and can confidently complete the tasks involved in making sure the children are out of the building. Documentation of our fire drills can be accessed in the school office upon request. We will also make "supervision" a part or our monthly staff meeting agenda which all staff will participate and sign-off that they understand our policies and procedures pertaining to supervision of children in a childcare setting. |
