Standard #: 8VAC20-780-400-B Description: **REPEAT VIOLATION**
Based on a review of video footage, behavioral guidance was not constructive in nature.
Evidence:
1. Video footage of the Preschool classroom was reviewed on 12/11/2023. The footage of the date of the incident (12/4/2023) showed Child #1 on their cot at naptime, throwing their blanket on the floor. Staff #1 is observed bending down and holding Child #1 by the left arm for approximately 5 seconds. Staff #1 was observed talking to Child #1 at the child's level. After this, Staff #1 gets up and walks across the classroom to get a book, which Staff #1 then brings to Child #1. Child #1 was not observed to be crying or upset in the video footage.Plan of Correction: We spoke to and retrained the staff member on proper behavior management/ redirection techniques.
