6. Staff #2 did not report the incident to administration because she did not think it was ?that bad.?Plan of Correction: ? Staff Member 1 and Staff Member 2 were terminated from Creative Wonders Learning Center.
? All staff members were to re-take the Child Abuse and Neglect training provided by Virginia Department of Social Services.
? Staff members were also required to write a full page paper on Mandated Reporting to show they understand what it is to be a mandated reporter.
? Management typed up a paper informing staff on what it is to be a mandated reporter, some possible things to look for, and the steps to reporting abuse/neglect. Management now includes an in-depth discussion with this paper in our orientation of new-hires.
? Creative Wonders Learning Center has been a partner with The Virginia Quality Rating Center and we reached out to them to help develop new techniques for classroom management, behavior management, and self-reflection. With this, the staff had mandatory training to implement these new techniques.
? Management has updated our Policies and Procedures including the steps to reporting, staff handling their emotions and recognizing their ?breaking point?, and explaining the Open Door policy and what to do if another staff member has questionable actions.
? Management has also implemented hourly room checks to try and have a bigger presence in the classrooms and to touch base with the teachers on their emotional and physical states.
