Ensure staff members are respectful by using non-threatening tones and actions when speaking and interacting with others at the center. During the visit several times Staff #1 used a sarcastic or harsh tone with the specialist in the presence of other staff, administrator, and children. When a specialist re-entered the facility to correct a supervision non-compliance, Staff #1 yelled across the room at the specialist and used profanity while holding two children one five-months-old, another one-year-old and three other children present in the young toddler classroom. While outside the facility Staff #1 had the same children in her arms and yelled at a specialist across the room to be heard outside causing the children to cry. This was corrected when the specialist asked the staff to leave for the day.
