Violations

1
Standard 22VAC40-185-410-1
Based on staff statement and photographic evidence, a staff member used a prohibited form of punishment.
Evidence:
Staff #1 restricted Child #1's arm movement by binding or tying their right arm. The safety strap was wrapped around Child #1's arm to prevent the child from reaching the second child in the stroller. Staff #1 was seen doing this three times.
Plan of Correction: We have communicated the following to the staff and added it to the staff handbook:

"Safety of the children is of utmost importance. When strapping a child to the stroller, only the straps intended to secure the child's core may be used. Straps may not be used to secure any other body part. It is required to check children often during stroll rides to ensure that no child tangles an arm or any other body part on the stroller strap."
