Standard #: 8VAC20-780-340-A Description: Based on observation and interviews with staff, the facility did not ensure the care, protection and guidance of children in care. Evidence: 1) On September 12, 2022 between approximately 3:40-3:50 pm, child #1, age two, exited the outdoor play space through a gate that was not latched properly. Staff #2 stated they did not see child #1 exit the outdoor play space because they were sitting on the ground, legs crossed, with their back to the gate. Staff #1 stated they didn?t see child #1 exit the outdoor play space because they went inside to get balls and hoola hoops for the children to play with. Staff #1 stated they were not aware that the child was missing until a bystander peeked through the open gate and stated ?I think one of your kids got out.? Child #1 was retrieved by a bystander, approximately 50 feet from a road next to the facility, and taken to staff in the front office. Plan of Correction: Teachers will be retrained on care, protection and guidance.

Staff #2, who had just reentered the outdoor play space from inside the facility stated they were informed by a bystander that one of their children was missing. Staff #2 then proceeded out the gate and walked to the front office where they found child #1, who had been retrieved, and returned to the facility, by a bystander.
