Observation. A review of attendance records found some times of departure missing from the day before the inspection, and some times of arrival missing from the day of the inspection. A system of recording times of arrival and departure is in place, but staff admit to finding it difficult to keep up on during these early days of September when new children are getting accustomed to the program. A method of recording arrival and departure times as they happen is required in order to account for all children in the case of an emergency.
