Received 8/22/23--Staff are- and will continue to be- provided a through Orientation within the first week of employment through: cecpd videos, discussion/training, Q&A, observing staff/teachers, shadowing then, ultimately, counted as Ratio in a classroom when comfortable with supervision. To better equip staff, and the appropriate staff observed exhibiting this behavior and others in this document, I am requesting the data that confirms this was, indeed, observed as a Serious non-compliance. My investigation and interviews did not determine the the "Teacher pulled child by the arm resulting in injury" as stated in the Observed Non-Compliance. I have submitted substantial documentation regarding my investigation. Further investigation will be done to determine when the Licensing Worker observed this behavior to merit a Serious Non-Compliance.
Description: SERIOUS: Discipline - Teacher pulled child by arm resulting in injury.
