RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROVIDING CARE AND SUPERVISION
Care and Supervision. 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 Site Supervisor's admission on 05/11/23 and the unusual incident report (UIR) submitted to CCLD on 04/19/23 that on 04/17/23 at approximately 03:05pm, child C1 was left without supervision of a teacher for approximately three-to-five minutes while on the preschool playground before being reunited with their class. The Site Supervisor reported that C1's class transitioned indoors while C1 remained outdoors on the fully fenced play yard. This presents a potential threat to the health and safety of children in care.
