If a caregiver
must intervene in a situation where a child becomes abusive or
displays dangerous or inappropriate behavior, we use the time out
method of correction. Time out is used as infrequently as
possible and limited to brief periods.
Our staff has been trained to
recognize and required by law to report any suspected abuse to the
proper authorities.
