Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The director verbally spoke with both teachers in the classroom on the day that the incident occurred and was reported to the administration (7/9/24). The issue was addressed with both teachers to uniformly make sure that they were generally directed on how to effectively guide and assist a student who may struggle with an activity and provide options based on the developmental skill set of a child who may need more or less of a challenge. All lesson plans and activities are to be composed based on the development and abilities of each individual child. Activities should be planned and made in a way that if a child is unable to do the initial activity, it can be modified to allow them to complete it at a level that is developmentally appropriate and suitable for that child. This includes having choices and back-up activities for children as needed in order to meet each child's developmental skill as student's who are older in the classroom may need more of a challenge with an activity rather than students who are younger in the classroom. Teacher led activities need to be conducted in ways that are effective to the student's learning and allow the teacher to help each child as needed while guiding the students within the group.
