Based on interviews, the center failed to ensure that behavioral guidance is constructive in nature, age and stage appropriate and intended to redirect children to appropriate behavior. Evidence: 1. In an interview on 07/20/2023, Staff #4 stated that on 06/27/2023, Child #1?s parent reported seeing marks on Child #1?s feet when removing their shoes after leaving the center on 06/26/2023. Staff #4 reported that Child #1?s feet looked bad on 06/27/2023.
