   An unannounced visit was conducted in response to a report concerning a possible injury to a child that occurred during care. The report stated that a young child had complained of leg pain after naptime and was later diagnosed with a fractured tibia at a local emergency room. During the visit, Licensing staff reviewed internal documentation, including incident reports, educator statements, and classroom camera footage. Footage from July 25, 2025, showed a staff member directing a child to their mat during naptime preparation. In the video, the staff member is seen taking the child by the arm and turning swiftly, resulting in the child falling to the mat with some force. While the child appeared to recover quickly and showed no visible distress in the moment, a limp was later observed on camera as the child moved around the room. — Visit: Safety Plan Served — Action taken: The educator in question was immediately put on Administrative Leave, and after further investigation, the center terminated the educator. The center will hold a staff meeting on Wednesday, August 6th, at 6 pm to go over developmentally appropriate behavior management with the remainder of the staff. All staff will also be required to take training on appropriate discipline/behavior management.
