Violations

2
Standard 22VAC40-185-400-B
Based on observation, behavioral guidance provided by staff was not constructive in nature or age and stage appropriate.

Evidence:
1. On 7/28/2021 at approximately 9:30am in the Toddler classroom, Staff member A was observed reading a book to the children that had buttons that were different colors. Staff A was observed telling Child A to "push yellow Child A. Yellow." during circle time. Child A was observed reaching for the book, and Staff A stated "See, Child A doesn't know anything." while slowly pulling the book away and then proceeding to ask another child to press yellow.
Plan of Correction: We have partnered Staff member A with a more seasoned teacher and went over proper behavior guidance techniques.
