LPA observed one teacher walking from one bathroom doorway to other, not properly having visual observation of the children at all times. Additionally, S1 stated that children go to the restroom by themselves and that on Mondays and Fridays, fewer staff are present, so daycare children are not supervised when they are in the restroom.
