On 05/11/2021 an Unusual Incident Report was filed with the Department to self-report an incident that occurred on 5/10/2021. Facility administrator called to report 4-5 children were at the entrance door of the classroom without a staff, and 2 children were in the restroom unattended. During rest time (12:00pm to 1:00pm) Staff #2 (S2) stepped into the Bear Classroom to grab an envelope, Staff #1 (S1) was walking 2 children to the restroom in the Bear Classroom, Staff #4 (S4) told S1 only 1 child at a time, S1 escorted Child#1 (C1) to the restroom, S2 told S1 she would watch C1 in the restroom. S1 returned to the breezeway to continue watching the group of children, C1 returned from the restroom, S1 excused Child #2 (C2) to go to the restroom and 2 minutes later excused Child#3 (C3) to go to the restroom, S1 did not escort C2 and C3 to the restroom. S1 stated, I did not see S2 leave the classroom, so I assumed S2 was still in the classroom. At 12:55pm, S1 excused a group of children to begin to pack and put away their mats and rest time bags, from the time of 1:05pm to 1:08pm 5 to 6 children walked in and out into the Bear classroom and put their mats on the rack and bags in their cubbies without a staff in the classroom.
