10. Medical report stated the child was diagnosed with a dislocated elbow.

Plan of Correction: In response to this incident, the Center Director met with the involved classroom staff on November 4,
2019 and reminded each to always release children?s hands as they pull down to the ground or away
from the staff member. The Center Administrators will meet with all staff to ensure awareness of this
by December 10, 2019. In addition, the Center?s Regional Manager spoke with the Center Director who
will connect with all Center staff and reminded them to not wait to further assess the possibility of injury
to a child, but rather make initial contact with the family at the time of the incident to allow parents the
opportunity to make a decision on the timing of potential medical attention. This will be part of the
meetings to occur by December 10, 2019.
