Centers shall be in compliance with the center's own policies and procedures required by these standards.
The center's policy is that teachers perform name-to-face checks on their Child Supervision Records to ensure children are accounted for during the day. Teachers must look at each child's face to verify they are checking the correct child on their list. Staff A did not look at the face of Child A before marking the child accounted for, therefore the child was left unsupervised in the classroom for approximately 5-7 minutes.
