Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Plan: To prevent future occurrences management will continue to carry out initial employment and conduct monthly staff meetings in which we will refer staff to a variety of guidance techniques/ behavior and classroom management. Staff are and will continue to be trained during these meetings to follow all state regulations including to never restrain a child/children by using bonds, ties, straps to restrict a child's movement or by enclosing the child in a confined space, closet or locked room. Plan: To prevent this from happening again staff will continue to be trained both on initial employment and during monthly staff meeting to follow all state regulations including to not use harsh, demeaning or abuse language in the presence of children. We will continue to train staff on a variety of ways to handle extreme emotional outbursts from children. We set up our environment to allow the children to be successful, allow children freedom to make their own decisions, use positive guidance techniques, teach self-regulations, conflict resolution and talking through big emotions.
