This LIC809 report was amended from the original created on 03/02/2020. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) arrived at facility on 03/11/2020 at 2:15 pm to 2:30pm to amend this report. LPA explained to Teacher Cheryl Johnson the reason for this amendment is to accurately note per Department's standards the narrative from LPA's original report.

On 03/02/2020 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) David Wilson conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with License Karen Murrish. It was alleged that a child (C1) sustained injuries while in care, specifically C1 sustained bruises on the head and leg, and a cut on the foot.

After both incidents above, staff told the license that C1 incurred bruising on the head, but that continued to participate in regular activities. The licensee was not aware of any other injuries to C1.

LPA interviewed the Licensee on 02/04/2020. The licensee stated she had knowledge of C1 being injured during two incidents, but she did not personally observe them. The licensee stated that on 12/16/2019, C1 walked into a moving play structure and on 12/18/2019 C1 tripped and fell into classroom furniture. After both incidents above, staff told the license that C1 incurred bruising on the head, but that continued to participate in regular activities. The licensee was not aware of any other injuries to C1.

On 12/27/2019 LPA obtained information from a witness (W1). On 12/18/2019, W1 witnessed C1 running classroom. C1 fell and hit his head on the table. After C1 hit head, C1’s forehead showed some swelling. On 12/27/19 LPA interviewed four staff (S2-S4) who stated they had observed C1’s injuries occurring at facility in December 2019. The staff stated the incidents were accidental, and that there were no specific tripping hazards or unsafe equipment being used.

LPA received and reviewed five photographs of C1 on 12/19/19. The photographs showed bruises on a child’s back, a thin cut on a child’s pinkie toe, and bruises on a child’s head and a scrape on the child’s face. It could not be determined the exact date and time the photographs were taken.

During the investigation, the LPA conducted two unannounced complaint inspections on 12/27/2019 and 03/02/2020. During the 12/27/2019 inspection, LPA reviewed records. On both of LPA's complaint inspections, the LPA did not observe any hazards or unsafe equipment indoors or outdoors. The facility was operating with adequate supervision and staff to child ratios on both dates. It could not be determined if C1’s injuries were caused by anything other than accidental trips and falls.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted.
