The facility self-reported an unusual incident to the department on 07/14/25 regarding an incident that occurred the same day where a child was left unsupervised inside a classroom. A staff (S4) observed a child (C1) in the quite space on their side of the shared classroom. During today's visit LPAs interviewed the child and staff involved. Based on the information gathered during the interviews there were 14 children with three staff in the classroom. Around 9:20am, during the transition from inside to outside, C1 was left in the quite space for a few minutes while the rest of the class was outside. A teacher inside the conjoined classroom observed C1 alone and returned them to their group.
