CARE AND/OR SUPERVISION: 14060 - CCLR s.39(1) - A licensee must ensure that children are supervised at all times by a person who is an educator, an assistant or a responsible adult.
Observation: Licensing observed three children eating at a table and during this time, both staff left the room for a short time. Although this was for a very short period of time, the risk to children is heightened because of the children all eating at this time. At another time during this visit, there were 2 children (one 4 year old and one two year old) left alone in a play room while the caregiver conducted a circle time in another room. The children were alone in the playroom for a minimum of 5 minutes. Given the young age of these children, continual supervision reduces the risk to the health and safey of children. There was no baby monitor in use.
Corrective Action(s): Ensure continual supervision is provided at all times.
