Due by 07/02/2023. Received 8/22/23--Staff are- and will continue to be- provided a through Orientation within the first week of employment through: cecpd videos, discussion/training, Q&A, observing staff/teachers, shadowing then, ultimately, counted as Ratio in a classroom when comfortable with supervision. To better equip staff, and the appropriate staff observed exhibiting this behavior and others in this document, I am requesting the data that confirms this was, indeed, observed as a Serious non-compliance. My investigation and interviews did not determine the the "Teacher pulled child by the arm resulting in injury" as stated in the Observed Non-Compliance. I have submitted substantial documentation regarding my investigation. Further investigation will be done to determine when the Licensing Worker observed this behavior to merit a Serious Non-Compliance.

Again, to better equip staff, and the appropriate staff observed exhibiting this behavior and other in this document, I would like the data that confirms this was, indeed, observed as a non-compliance. As leadership, we do not condone this form of discipline and make corrections with staff if inappropriate actions are being taken. The only time that Outdoor playtime would be considered to be withdrawn is when a child has endangered self or others even after redirection has been attempted.
