On 11/17/2023, at 9:20am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vicky Williamson conducted an unannounced case management inspection.

The following ratios were observed: Classroom #130 had seven (7) infants with two (2) teachers, Classroom #140 had eight (8) infants with two (2) teachers and two (2) aides.

On 9/29/2023, the director self- reported an incident involving Child #1 (C1) and Staff #1 (S1) [See Confidential Names]. Per Director, the incident occurred on 9/27/2023 at 3:30pm. Director reported that she and corporate office staff observed S1 grabbing C1 by the upper right forearm and placing her on the floor in an inappropriate manner.

Interviews were conducted with the director, regional director, S1 and C1’s authorized representative. Per C1's authorized representative medical attention was not required for C1. LPA reviewed facility records for C1 and S1 and obtained copies of documentation. S1 denied grabbing the child by the upper forearm. S1 stated that she grabbed C1 by one hand while she continued to hold another child in her other arm. S1 stated that she was attempting to redirect C1 from entering the infant sleeping area. S1 stated that the grab of C1's hand and placing her on the floor was in no way meant to be harmful. S1 acknowledged that she should have used both hands in redirecting C1. C1 was unable to be interviewed due to age.

Based on staff interviews and S1's own admission that she grabbed C1 by the hand in an hasty motion. S1 violated the personal rights of C1. S1 is no longer an employee at the facility.
