2. Staff # 1 stated that while on the playground, Child # 1 (3-years old) jumped in a small puddle of water, left from the rain the day before. Staff # 1 noticed that Child # 1?s pants had gotten wet from the water up to his knees.
3. When they returned back to the classroom, it was time for Staff # 1 to leave on lunch break. Staff # 1 told Staff # 2 to change Child # 1, but did not specify that Child # 1?s clothing had gotten wet. At approximately 11:03 am, Staff # 1 left on break.
