About the Provider

Description: The primary goal of this center is to provide an environment that fosters the growth of the whole child in all areas of development including social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative with the ultimate result that children reach their maximum potential. Believing that children are competent, autonomous people, each child’s developmental level, needs and interests will be of utmost priority. The program model is based upon the concept that children learn through play and “hands on” experiences. They will interact with the environment, explore, experiment, and problem solve. The program will be child centered including free play, individualized, and small group teacher directed activities.

Each child was not attended to in a nurturing and appropriate manner, or in keeping with the child's developmental needs. On Friday, November 17, 2023, around 3:00 pm, two staff members, J. Crapo and E. Blackwell were present with seven children, ranging in age from nine months to one year. The children were seated in individual highchairs, eating afternoon snack. A one year old child began to bang his bottle on the highchair tray. Ms. Crapo told him to “stop.” She then walked toward the child, snatched the bottle out of his hand and continued to walk toward the sink area, not noticing the highchair top tipping over. As the top tipped over, the back of her foot caught the tray, preventing the child's face from hitting the floor.
