The PreK and the afterschool areas were being utilized at this time, but staff were unaware of the child that was left until the child was noticed by a caregiver.

At the time of the inspection, the caregiver in the PreK room did not know how many children were in her care. She stated there were 16 children in her care when there were 17.This was corrected when the caregiver recounted the children on the Ipad.

The Preschool teacher stated there were 15 children in care and changed the number to 14. After verifying on the Ipad there were only 13 children in care.
