Evidence:
1. At approximately 12:15pm, Teacher 2 went on a lunch break, leaving Teacher 1 alone in the classroom with 16 children (ages 3-6 years old). Teacher 1 was out of ratio for approximately 45 minutes, from 12:15pm-1:00pm.Plan of Correction: This was corrected during the inspection when the teacher returned from their lunch break.
