| P1 screamed at the Director and pointed a finger at S2. S2 even called Licensing concerned about that parent’s behavior towards the staff and how P1 acted inappropriately around the children.
Staff 3 (S3) stated the school’s policy regarding supervision and care of the children is that staff are always to be supervising and caring for children, staff never leave children unattended. Staff always maintain ratios. S3 denied ever leaving children unattended. S3 disclosed there was a time S3 brought two children (child #2 (C2) and child #3 (C3) to the bathroom and S3 witnessed P1 was yelling at S1. It seemed like it was starting to escalate when P1 saw S3 and P1 seemed to get angrier. So, S3 looked at S1 and knowingly left the children in S1’s care hoping it would diffuse the situation.
Staff 4 (S4) stated that school’s policy regarding supervision and care of children is usually there is 2 staff for 12 children. Staff make sure to always watch the children. When teachers are alone with children outside and children need to use the bathroom S4 messages S1 or if S1 is near enough, S4 would call out to S1 and S1 will help watch the child. S4 denies S3 ever left children unattended.
Staff 5 (S5) stated the school’s policy regarding supervision and care of children is all the time there is 2 teachers in a class. Staff give constant supervision on the playground. Even when going to the bathroom, staff split children to maintain ratios. Staff are not allowed to leave children unattended at any time. Safety first so S5 does not leave them alone, if needed S5 will ask for help.
Staff 6 (S6) stated the school’s policy regarding supervision is to always be in ratio, in the toddler room it’s 1:6, there is always two teachers. In primary it is 2 teachers per class, 2:12 and sometimes 3 teachers. S6 denied ever leaving children alone or ever observing another staff leave children alone. The protocol when the teachers and children are outside, and a child needs to use the bathroom is that staff have to be in ratio. One teacher walks the child in, and staff must make sure the teacher outside doesn’t have too many kids. Sometimes if needed, staff will ask S1 to help.
