Standard #: 8VAC20-780-370-5 Description: Based on review of a video recording and interview, the center did not ensure that an infant was protected from an older child. Evidence: On 7/5/23 at approximately 7:45am, Child B, a 22-month-old, accidentally sat on Child A, an eight-month-old, who was sitting on the floor in the infant classroom. The older child appeared to become upset and hit the younger child on the left side of the face approximately 10 times in quick succession with a hard plastic, star-shaped toy, leaving bruises and scrapes on Child A?s face. Plan of Correction: The 18 month and older children are no longer combined with younger children in the early morning. Staff scheduling has been adjusted for this change. This step has allowed child A and child B to be with their specific age groups.
An updated request has been sent to the parents for drop off times for their child on the younger side. This will help to ensure any surprise drop off times to keep children separated.
