Description: When staff are supervising children, they shall always ensure their care, protection and guidance.
During a 30-minute period on 03/03/2026, Child #1 (age 3 years) was not provided protection by staff. Child #1 was taken to the office for behaviors in the classroom. Staff #2 was in the office for approximately 30 minutes, watched the forbidden actions of Staff #1 requiring exercise as punishment, and did not intervene. During this time, Staff #2 also watched staff #1 roughly handle Child #1 and did not intervene.
Staff # 3 was in the classroom for approximately 30 minutes during lunch time, watched the forbidden actions of Staff # 1, forcing the child to eat food while gagging and did not intervene. Several children at the same table as Child #1 and at an adjacent table were watching Child #1 being force fed and Staff #3 did not intervene.

Roughly handling a child, striking a child, and exercise as punishment are forbidden actions.

On March 3, 2026, Staff #1 made Child #1, 3 years of age, jump up and down with their hands in the air for approximately two minutes. Staff #1 stated that since the child had so much energy to misbehave in the classroom the child could do some jumping jacks in the office. Child #1 was crying, rubbing their stomach, pulling at their shirt and pants, coughing at times, and breathing heavily while crying.

During a period of approximately 30 minutes, Staff #1: squeezed Child #1's face, forcefully pushed the child's arms down by the child's side holding them in place, struck the child's nose, grabbed the child's face under the chin and pushed the child's face in a direction to look at a computer monitor. Child #1 was crying for multiple periods of time, continuously, up to and more than two minutes while Staff #1 continued to scold and roughly handle the child. Staff #1 wiped the child's nose forcefully, covering the child's entire face with the tissue and pushed the child's head back.
