On 3/21/23, I conducted an interview with licensee/program director, Connie Marshall. Ms. Marshall reported partnering and working with Child A and using computer application to talk with Child A's parents. Application includes any incident reports or behaviors. Child A became bored in the Tikes Room (toddler room). Child A also works with Community Mental Health who comes to the center to help child care staff members and program director to understand Child A's trauma. Ms. Marshall hired a new preschool child care staff member trained in trauma for more support. Child A was moved up after showing signs of being ready. On 3/21/2022, I conducted an interview with child care staff member Ann Elyse Dion. Ms. Dion reported she has been a child care staff member in the preschool room for a few months and Child A is struggling with following structure and with his anger. "He's (Child A) struggling but had a really good day. Potty training is a challenge for Child A and he will "go in" his pull-up. When prompted, he will go but will not initiate. There are now three trauma-trained child care staff members in the preschool room. On 5/15/2023, I interviewed Child B and Child C's mother via telephone.
