KinderCare Learning Centers- Eisenhower East

Behavioral guidance shall be constructive in nature, age and stage appropriate, and shall be intended to redirect children to appropriate behavior and resolve conflicts.

“The center failed to provide appropriate behavioral guidance to Child #1, age 5 years. On August 26, 2026, at or around nap time, Staff #2 stated that Child #1 was “running around, stepping on other children’s cots”. Staff #2 stated that they told Child #1 that “if they did not listen they would go to...” an alternative classroom. The alternative classroom is meant for 2 year old children. The alternate classroom’s name is similarly sounding to a local agency name, in which Child #1 thought they were being threatened with.”
