32 | Instead, on this day, there were two staffs, staff #1 and 2 inside the classroom and staff #3 outside by the door that leads to the playground. Also on this day, there was a birthday celebration as the children were leaving a parent who was at one of the tables in the playground, had brought treats for the children in care. Staff #3 left her station because she could not locate the emergency information for a child to verify who the person was that was picking up that child. Staff #3 came inside classroom and asked staff #2 where the emergency information folder was. Staff #1 and #2 began to help staff #3 and look for the folder. It is uncleared whether it was at this time that Child #1 was able to leave classroom. Walk out of the classroom, through the back door that leads to the playground. Walked out of the gate that leads to the school front parking lot and Sultana Avenue. Child #1 walked along the sidewalk, next to the front school parking lot. Turned north on Sultana Avenue heading towards Francis Avenue.
An adult, Adult #1 recognized child #1 walking alone, along the sidewalk on Sultana Avenue halfway to the intersection of Francis Avenue.

Adult#1 stopped the vehicle, pulled to the side of street, adult #1 and Child #2 called Child #1 name, to come to vehicle. Adult #1 asked child #1 why Child #1 was walking alone on the street and where was he going. Child #1 did not have an answer and per adult looked confused.
