Interviews with staff revealed there was a child who would walk out of the class during nap time. All interviews with staff indicated the child never walked out by themselves or without the knowledge of a teacher. All staff stated they were aware of each time the child would open the door and would be right behind the child at all times. All staff stated the child would do it during nap time and later the child would do it when the child would become upset. All interviews stated the child never walked into the parking spaces or street and they would follow right behind the child walking until they were able to get the child back into the classroom. Staff also stated there is always 2 teachers present in the classroom. LPA also interviewed a staff who is a floater and covers breaks and lunches, who stated there is always 2 teachers in each class. She stated she got to witness the child trying to walk out and that on several occasions she had to walk out with the child as well. Per interviews with the Director and staff they tried working with the child on several different ways such as putting signs on the door, giving the child activities and games to do during nap time, re-directing the child and trying to talk to the child to address the behavior but were unsuccessful. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights were discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to the Director on this date. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and shall remain posted for 30 days.
