LPA determined by incident report, investigation supporting documents, and interview, that two children were left outside unattended in the play yard from approximately 9:15 am to 10:00am, when their class transitioned into the classroom from the outdoor activity space without them. A staff member of another class found the children outside playing approximately 45 minutes after their class had gone inside. A health check was conducted, parents were notified, and the staff member responsible for the incident has received disciplinary action in the form of termination.
