25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), James Santos conducted an unannounced a case management visit today and met with Assistant Director,Mylene Ignacio. The purpose of the visit was in regards to the Unusual Incident Report sent to the Department by the daycare center facility involving a staff (S1). Per report, another staff witnessed S1's interactions with two children on two separate occasions which she had concerns. Staff notified the preschool supervisor on 8/23.
Per report, on 8/1 during nap time at around 12pm, staff witnessed S1 pulled a child by the leg to lay him down and the child began crying. Per LPA's interview with staff, the children were transitioning from the bathroom and were getting ready for nap. On 8/22 at around 10am during circle time, another child was moving around the floor. Per report, S1 tried to redirect the child but the child did not comply. S1 picked up the child and placed him on a couch by the social emotional area. The child began to cry. The child stayed in the social emotional area for about 5 minutes, played with a toy and was asked to join back into the circle. Another staff (lead teacher) witnessed the incident and spoke to S1 about appropriate redirecting behaviors. Per interview with the lead teacher, S1 acknowledged the mistake. On the same day, 8/22 at around 12pm, the same child was getting ready to take a nap but was making noises. S1 tried to rub the child's back and verbally redirected the child couple of times but the child did not respond. S1 picked up the child and put him down on the mat but ended up hitting his head onto the floor. The child started to cry. S1 sat with the child, patted him on the back and child eventually fell asleep.
