During an investigation, it was determined based on a complaint investigation on October 6, 2022 that a four-year- old child was inappropriately disciplined when a staff member used their hands to hit the four-year-old child on their face, leaving a mark. During breakfast, the child became unruly in the classroom and hit and spit on the staff member after being told they could not get the breakfast item they wanted. The staff member reacted by hitting the four-year- old child on the face with their hand. The child was taken for professional medical attention.
