I am a state-mandated reporter. I am required to report any suspected cases of physical or sexual abuse, the threat of harm, mental injury,  neglect, or child selling.  I have reason to believe that a child has been abused or neglected, I will report the situation to my licensor or to the local child protection office. Abusive treatment of children will not be tolerated.

Under no circumstance are children to be spanked, slapped, grabbed roughly, pinched, shaken, or verbally abused. They are not to be yelled at. This manner of treatment is cause for immediate termination.
