Comments:
A monitoring inspection, resulting from a self-reported incident received on 01/09/2024, was conducted via telephone interviews on 01/11/2024 and electronic record review on 01/16/2024. The inspector reviewed 1 child record, 1 assistant record and interviewed 1 caregiver.
Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the provider.
Based on interviews, the provider failed to ensure that actions towards children that are forbidden by the standards (physical punishment including but not limited to striking a child, roughly handling or shaking a child, etc.) are not used.
Evidence: Caregiver 1 stated that at approximately 12:15 pm on 12/21/2023 she heard Child 1 (age 2 years) begin to cry while in the bathroom with Caregiver 2. Caregiver 1 stated that she went into the bathroom to check on Child 1 and noticed that the child?s face was a little red. Caregiver 1 asked Child 1 if something was hurting, and Child 1 proceeded to point to their face. When asked what happened to Child 1?s face, Caregiver 2 stated that she put her hands on Child 1?s face (one on each side) to turn the child?s face to look at her. The rough handling of Child 1 by Staff 2 resulted in red marks on the child?s face.
Plan of Correction:
I terminated her employment immediately.
