The child care staff failed to comply with the facilitys written policy as evidenced by [inappropriate interaction]. Comments: Per the statement of Sharee Tucker, Student JT ran off and I went to get him by reaching for his hand and I held his hand; he dropped his weight against my body as support. I helped him up with my knees and we walked back to the concrete area. He began crying when I put him to sit with the others. When his mom came to pick him up, I let her know how he was acting since we came in from the playground. I told her I might have done something to his arm when I was helping him up, so I suggested that he be taken to the doctor. Source: FL DCF CARES inspection 2026-04-23.
