CCR 101229(a)(1)Type B
“101229 (a) The licensee shall provide care and supervision as necessary to meet the children's needs. (1) No child(ren) shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time... Supervision shall include visual observation. This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and review of video footage, LPA observed children including C1 and C2 being physical and playing in a rough manner with each other. Director and staff stated that the children are active and physical with each other and play regularly in this manner and therefore staff did not intervene. Facility was notified by parent later the same day that child, C1 had marks on his neck from the interaction with C2. This poses a potential risk to the health, safety and personal rights of children in care.”
