Licensing Program Analysts Joleen Kenney and Tanya Washington met with Director Debi Salvino to deliver complaint finding for the above allegation. During today's inspection LPAs toured the facility and observed 5 infants and 19 toddlers supervised by 8 staff members. LPAs also conducted staff interviews and reviewed the employee handbook.

It was alleged that a staff handled a day care child in a rough manner when a staff member was dancing with a child while manipulating the child's body to move to the music. LPAs reviewed the video which identified that the child was not engaging or enjoying the dance that the staff member was making the child do. Staff admitted to having the child dance while holding them, while another staff member video recorded it on their personal cell phone. It was discovered that the video was sent from the staff to the child's parent via private social media message.
