Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): During inspection, Licensing observed that children were briefly left unsupervised when a staff member went down a long hallway to unlock the door for another staff member to come inside.

Licensing discussed active supervision strategies to ensure children are supervised at all times.

    Corrective action. Licensee contact said that active supervision strategies will be reviewed with all staff to ensure children are supervised at all times.
