Plan of Correction: Per the Center: ?Due to a medical emergency a staff employee experienced beyond her control, a remote was thrown across the room hitting a child in the forehead showing red for two hours leaving no visible marks with an icepack applied. When management was made aware of the incident the employee had left to go by ambulance to the emergency room. The center notified parents immediately, called licensing to self report and reported to CPS. Tiffany's Learning Center does not condone this type of behavior even if a medical emergency occurs. The employee will not return to TLC. Our children's protection, health and safety is our #1 priority. TLC has had all employees fill new documentation forms to disclose any medical conditions or health problems that may interfere with fulfilling their job responsibilities at TLC and a new medical questionnaire form has been implemented for all employees.?
