During an investigation, it was determined that on March 18, 2025, while children were engaged and free play and center time, a staff member grabbed a three-year-old child by their right arm to stop the child from running. The child sustained a bruise on the right arm. Staff statements, interviews and review of video footage revealed that on March 18, 2025, the staff member was sitting in a chair on the carpet before the incident occurred. Video footage also revealed multiple children in the classroom were grabbed by the staff member for different reasons. The staff member was terminated after a review of video footage revealed inappropriate discipline techniques.
