Based on a review of video footage and staff interview, behavioral guidance was not constructive in nature, age and stage appropriate, or intended to redirect children to appropriate behavior.
Evidence: 1. Video footage from 8/3/2021 showed Staff A approaching Child A and attempting to direct Child A to go to the table. When Child A resists, Teacher A picks up Child A under both arms and firmly puts the child in a chair at the table and pushes the chair in. Child A begins to cry. 2. Staff B (who witnessed the incident) stated that "Staff A grabbed Child A by two arms and the way Staff A sat Child A down was a bit rough. Staff A had Child A by both arms and sat Child A down pretty hard."
Plan of Correction:
Retrained all current employees on positive guidance and redirection.
