Standard #: 22VAC40-185-410-1 Description: Based on interviews with staff and documentation reviewed, the center failed to ensure that staff does not roughly handle children.
Evidence:
1. Staff #1 took child #1 by the arm to transition child #1 to a different activity due to inappropriate behavior. During the transition to the table child #1 was lagging behind, dropping his body to the floor, as the teacher held his arm and continued to walk with child #1 to the table. Staff #2 picked up child #1 up from the table as a form of redirection for inappropriate behavior. Staff #2 put child #1 down on the floor and escorted child #1 outside the classroom to take a walk. Child #1 began dropping to the floor as staff #1 took him out of the classroom for a walk.
2. Based on Skipwith Academy?s Home office observations of the video footage from the classroom cameras, staff#2 was observed holding child #1?s hand and child #1 is trying to pull away and he grabs at his arm.
3. Child #1 had a dislocated elbow and a fracture to his arm.Plan of Correction: Not available online. Contact Inspector for more information.
