LS interviewed the director and a teacher in room 11 in reference to the aide blocking a 3 year old child in the bathroom. The teacher stated that she was lining children up to go outside and noticed that one child was missing. She then heard a child crying and observed the aide in room # 11 sitting in a chair that was backed up against the bathroom. The teacher stated that she asked the aide if the child was in the bathroom and the aide laughed and said that she put the child in the bathroom to punish him because he was being bad. The teacher told the aide to move and saw that the child referenced in the incident was inside of the bathroom with the lights out. The teacher stated that she told the aide that she can't block kids in the bathroom when they are being bad because that is neglect, and the aide laughed at her again. The teacher then went to tell the director what happened, and the aide was immediately removed from the room and suspended. The aide has also been terminated, and has not been back at the center since 05/12/2025. An employee may not subject a child to abuse, neglect, mental injury, or injurious treatment.
