Based on the video and interviews conducted, a name to face was not conducted at each threshold nor was a sweep of the classroom before leaving out of the room. This resulted in a child being left in the classroom unsupervised for approximately 8 minutes while the class went outside.

The operation did not have the staff fill out an incident report for the parent to sign even though the parent was notified by phone.

Based on the video, a caregiver left the room during the beginning of naptime leaving one caregiver with 15 children, many of them were not on their mats asleep. A caregiver was in the bathroom assisting children and could not see the other children who were still playing around the room until she was finished and able to assist them with naptime.

There were several bottles not labeled correctly. This was corrected when the caregivers labeled the bottles/cups.

The written feeding schedules observed have not been updated.

Based on the video, a caregiver grabbed a child up by the forearm from the floor and pulled the child by the hand as the child was resisting. Note: The operation immediately terminated the caregiver.
