A complaint was received that a staff person "popped" a child on the leg because she would not sit for circle time. Shortly after, the owner/director contacted this Licensing Specialist to report that yesterday they were informed by a staff person that on Monday one of the teacher's in the Tiny 2's classroom handled the children in manner they described as rough. The owner/director reviewed the video tape from the classroom. She reported that the video showed the staff person pick some of the children up and place each down hard on their bottoms on the floor. The staff person was terminated yesterday evening. The Licensing Specialist reviewed the tape and observed the staff person, in a span of 2 minutes, pick 4 different children up from one spot and place them back on their bottoms on the floor in an aggressive manor. In addition, one child was laying on the floor and the staff used her hand and hit the child on her leg two times and then dragged her closer to her so she could wipe her nose. She then picked her up and aggressively placed her on her bottom on the floor. All of this occurred when she was trying to have the children sit in a structured manner for circle time.
