Child #1 remained in only a pull up in their classroom with their peers from approximately 2:30 p.m. until parent pick up.
2.In approximately October of 2022, Child #1 was not provided a change of clothing after a toileting accident and because Child #1 was in a pull up, the child was kept inside during afternoon outdoor time. Additional children in the classroom were kept inside during outdoor playtime to maintain the ratio requirements.
3.When Child #1?s parent arrived for pick up, Child #1?s parent was immediately able to go to Child #1?s cubby and retrieve extra clothing.Plan of Correction: Staff B had already been terminated prior to the conclusion of the investigation.
