The gate is located in the outside play yard. The alarm did not sound a warning, and the two children were able to leave fenced area. Children in the outside play yard attempted to inform a substitute teacher, who did not listen to the children. A staff exited the building and the children ran to staff and proceeded to inform staff that two children were outside the fence, playing in the dirt, between the fence and tree. Staff immediately questioned the substitute teacher, who shrugged and did not know the children who were missing. Staff observed another staff getting into car and asked for assistance in finding the two missing children. The two children were found playing next to wrought iron fencing, next to a tree. Staff were interviewed, and the children were missing for an undetermined amount of time. ***Continued on 809-C*** SUPERVISORS NAME: Cynthia Brannon LICENSING EVALUATOR NAME: Anita Tristan LICENSING EVALUATOR SIGNATURE: DATE: 09/10/2024 I acknowledge receipt of this form and understand my licensing appeal rights as explained and received.
