Based on multiple interviews, and a review of documentation, it was determined that staff used a forbidden action of roughly handling a child and restricting movement. Evidence: Interviews revealed that on 10/24/2023, in the toddler classroom, between approximately 11:00 - 11:30am, Staff #1 was observed "forcefully" trying to get child #1 (19 months old) to lay quietly on their cot to nap. First, Staff #1 attempted to keep child #1 still by placing their hand/arm on the child's back and then by pushing the child's head down towards the cot. Then staff #1 was observed changing the child's position on the cot by roughly picking them up and switching the child's head/feet location to the opposite side. It was reported that Child #1 was crying before, during and after this incident.
