A facility person may not restrain a child by using bonds, ties or straps to restrict a child's movement or by enclosing the child in a confined space, closet or locked room. The prohibition against restraining a child does not apply to the use of adaptive equipment prescribed for a child with special needs.

The training may be either in person or virtual and must be completed outside of childcare hours.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)

This letter serves as a corrective action statement. I, Rafaelina Delgado, owner and director of Rising Stars Family Daycare, formally state that under no circumstances will any child up to 8 years of age be placed in a high chair, as high chairs are not appropriate for a child's age, size, or developmental level and may pose a safety risk. Additionally, children with special needs will not be placed in inappropriate high chairs regardless of age. These children will receive individualized and safe accommodations in accordance with their care plans, professional recommendations, and applicable childcare licensing regulations.Corrective and preventive measures include: - Staff retraining on the proper and safe use of high chairs. - Ongoing supervision to ensure compliance. - Continuous prioritization of children's safety and well-being. This corrective action is implemented immediately and will be maintained permanently to ensure full compliance with childcare licensing requirements. |
