Evidence: The center's required lifting of children policy requires children should always be lifted underneath both arms (armpits). Never lift a child by the wrist, one arm or any area other than the armpit. This could easily cause a dislocation or an injury. The center's video recording showed Staff #1 walking to the rug located in the far right corner of the room and grabs Child #1 by the right arm between the elbow and shoulder before lifting Child #1 under the armpits and places Child #1 in the hallway by the door to the classroom.
