During an investigation, it was determined that on March 21, 2022, a staff member handled a child roughly when the staff member grabbed a three-year-old child by the arm when the child refused to do what the staff member asked them to do. The child sustained a dislocated elbow as a result of the inappropriate discipline and required medical attention. The staff member was terminated as a result of the incident.
