LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted a follow up case management visit with ECS Head Start Program Manager Nerissa Torralba and ECS Area Supervisor Joan Borgonia regarding a self-reported 02/26/20 incident in which Child #1 (C1) was separated from his class when they were transitioning from the playground to his classroom. The child was left on the school playground without supervision until discovered by a parent who heard him crying and advised facility staff who then located the child and returned him to his classroom. This visit was conducted as a tele-visit via the Zoom visual application program due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

During the course of the incident investigation, analyst conducted interviews with the facility site supervisor and administrators, staff members involved in the incident as well as the parent of child involved. Analyst also inspected the school playground, equipment and classroom child attended. C1 is no longer attending the facility.

Based on information gathered, analyst determined that on day of incident staff member #1 (S1) was attempting to transition the children she was supervising back to their classroom after completing their outdoor play time. During the transition, a child in care broke away from the transitioning group requiring the staff member to leave the line of children in place while recovering the child and returning him to the group. While this occurred, C1 also broke away from the line unnoticed and hid, unseen, in a play structure. S1 failed to conduct a recount of the day care children and returned to her classroom without C1 with no other supervising staff left in the play area. C1 was returned to the classroom after he was heard crying by a parent who reported it to a facility aide.

C1 was reported to have been left in the playground by himself for three to four minutes with both playground gates secured and within immediate vicinity of the classroom entrance door which opens up onto the playground. Though the child remained in the facility's secured playground and approximal to his classroom, he was not under direct supervision during facility's bustling parent pick up time and was not noticed missing by the classroom staff until he was returned by a teacher's aide. Facility also had no recordings available from their campus camera for analyst to review to confirm time child was reported to have been left in playground unsupervised.
