On 09/16/2022 the program director contacted licensing and made a self-report in regards to a parent-concern of an incident that occurred in the toddler room on 09/14/2022. On 09/16/2022 the licensing inspector, along with the District Manager viewed video footage that was approximately 3 minutes long. In the video staff in the toddler room were observed rough handling children in their care.

b. Staff A pulled 1 year-old children #1 and #3 by their clothing as they walked away from her.
c. Staff A grabbed 1 year-old child #3 who was walking away from her, by the back of her pants, causing her body to lift off the floor and all four limbs to dangle before placing her back onto the floor. The same child wiggled her body all over the floor in an attempt to again, move away from the staff. Staff A grabbed the child by her clothing again and this time pulled her across the floor towards her lap.
d. Staff A laid her arm across Child #3?s body to restrict her movement. The staff at no time spoke to the child or looked back at her as she wiggled and twisted her body underneath the staff?s arm. Child #3 managed to wiggle herself out again and walk away. This time Staff A grabbed the child by the ankle and pulled her body on the floor to her.
2. Staff B grabbed 1 year-old child #1 under the arms and roughly placed him next to Staff A, when he wandered from the sink area.Plan of Correction: Corrected on 09/19/2022.
