    101229 Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision (a)The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs. (1)No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time, except as specified in Sections 101216.2(e)(1) and 101230(c)(1). Supervision shall include visual observation. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on the reviewed records and the interviews conducted, the center did not comply with the section cited above. The staff failed to follow the center's sign-in and sign-out protocol, which resulted in a C1 being left at Venitia School and not being picked up. This was uncovered when Venitia School contacted the family, and the center realized the child was not accounted for. Fortunately, the child was still with Venitia Valley School. This situation poses a potential health and safety risk to the children in care.• Following the incident, the center’s director met with all staff members, reviewed active supervision practices, and implemented a new transition protocol. As a corrective action, the center will submit active supervision training materials, including details of the new implementation and procedures, along with the sign-in attendance of the staff members who participated, to Licensing by September 10, 2025, or earlier, to resolve the deficiency.
