During interviews, it was stated the facility typically maintains supervision by utilizing zones that each teacher is assigned to, consistently doing head counts, roll calls, and sweeps of the classroom and playground. During inspection, LPA observed staff members standing in assigned zones indoors and outdoors. LPA also observed staff members doing head counts frequently and positioning themselves so they can supervise the entire classroom. LPA did not observe supervision concerns during the time of inspection. LPA reviewed records of roll call sheets used to keep children accounted for.

Based on the information gathered the department has found that the allegation staff left children outside unsupervised to be SUBSTANTIATED: meaning that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
