On 11/08/2024, Staff #1 and Staff #2 did not conduct name-to-face counts using the Child Supervision Record as required by policy after leaving the playground and reaching the last threshold, resulting in 19 month old Child #1 being left alone and unsupervised on the playground for approximately 5 minutes.
