  1. High riskStandard 202/19/2026

    20U — Positive Behavior Management

    The center is being cited for not using positive behavior supports. Regulation 20 states: A licensee shall ensure that all staff use prevention strategies, appropriate redirection rather than restraint, and positive developmentally-appropriate methods of behavior supports for children, which encourage self-control, self direction, positive self-esteem, social responsibility, and cooperation. An employee was observed using a threatening tone and physically moving a child inappropriately. This was corrected by the center terminating the employee.
