Standard #: 8VAC20-780-410-1 Description: Based on interviews with staff and children and documentation review, it was determined that staff engaged in a forbidden action of physical punishment with a child.
Evidence:
1) Staff #2 stated that on 06/06/2022, at approximately 8:50 am, Child #1 (6 years) approached Staff #2 in the gym and said that Staff #1 had kicked her on the leg. Staff #2 stated that Child #1 was crying and, upon examining Child #1, noticed a red area and a small scratch in the inner area of the child's left thigh. Staff #2 gave the child an ice pack to apply on the area.
2) Child #1 stated that while in the gym, she approached Staff #1 and "kicked" Staff #1 and Staff #1 "kicked me back". When asked where Staff #1 kicked her, Child #1 pointed at their inner left thigh. Child #1 stated that she cried and went to Staff #2 to tell them what had happened.
3) Child #2 (10 years) stated that while in the gym talking with Staff #1, Child #1 approached Staff #1, made a fist and kicked Staff #1 on the leg. Child #2 stated that Staff #1 immediately kicked Child #1 back on the leg.
4) An injury report dated 06/06/2022 and signed by Staff #2 and Staff #3, describes the incident as: Child #1 "kicked" Staff #1 and Staff #1 kicked them "back on the thigh". This document described the type of injury as a "reddish bruise on the thigh. Noticed there was a fine line about 2 inches there."Plan of Correction: Physical punishment of a child is not permitted in SACC and as a forbidden action, any incidents are self-reported to VDOE child care licensing. Strategies for developing positive relationships with children and supporting children's emotional, social and developmental needs were reviewed with all center staff.
All program staff will receive additional training on developing positive relationships with children, proactive strategies to foster children's success, forbidden actions and mandated reporting.
Staff 1 is no longer working with the SACC program.
