25 | On 10/26/2020, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kathy Pacheco and LPA Kari McWilliams conducted an unannounced case management inspection at the facility and met with Administrator, Barbara Channita, to discuss an incident that occurred on 10/12/2020. A complete file review was conducted prior to the inspection. LPAs toured the facility, took a census, interviewed staff and children, and observed area in which the incident occurred.
On 10/12/2020 at approximately 3:35 PM., Child #1 (see Confidential Names List form (LIC 811) was playing and running on the soccer field at the facility when she slipped and fell. Child #1 stated another child was chasing her and she slipped on a wet and muddy section of the field. Child #1 stated she fell backwards on her bottom and placed her arms down when she fell backwards. Child #1 said her left arm was hurting and she started crying. She said another child helped her get up and she walked over to where Teacher #1 was sitting. Child #1 said she told Teacher #1 her arm was hurting and Teacher #1 sent her inside. Teacher #1 was not present at the facility during the case management inspection however, Teacher #2 was present and stated she was inside the office when Teacher #1 messaged her on the walkie-talkie to say Child #1 had fallen and was coming inside for some ice. When Child #1 came into the office, Teacher #2 said she got ice for Child #1 and had her sit down in a chair on top of a bag because her bottom was dirty from the fall in the mud. In the meantime, Teacher #2 said she had informed the Assistant Director of Child #1 falling and the Assistant Director contacted Child #1's mother. Teacher #2 said Child #1 was not crying and wasn't complaining of pain. She said she asked Child #1 if she wanted to go back outside and she said yes. Teacher #2 said Child #1 never complained about being in pain while she was at the facility. She said it wasn't until the next day they realized Child #1's mother had taken her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with a hairline fracture to her shoulder. Child #1 did return to the facility the next day with her arm in a sling.
