Report comments
On February 13, 2026, a child in the four-year-old classroom did not get a treat as part of Valentines Day. The child was having behavior issues that day and the teacher told the child that if he would not be able to have a treat until he calmed his body. The child had multiple attempts during the day to correct his behavior. The teacher stated that she would save the treat for after nap time, however after the teachers break the child had left for the day and he did not get his treat. Technical assistance was provided to the director to ensure that a form of discipline is not used by childcare personnel that is associated with food, rest and or toileting.
