Violation Details
When I requested an infant's feeding instructions from October of 2025 in December of 2025 I was told by the caregiver and members of management it had been thrown away.

It was determined that the operation did not report an allegation of inappropriate discipline in April of 2025.
Corrected: Jan 13, 2026
Three caregivers were observed in video footage inappropriately handling infants. One caregiver was seen inappropriately maneuvering an infant by one arm. The second was observed picking up and holding infants inappropriately with little support to support their head, neck, or spine. The third was observed inappropriately removing an infant from a restrictive device and pulling their arm behind their back to an unnatural angle to wipe their hand, which likely caused a serious accidental injury.
