25 | On 2/19/2020, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kathy Pacheco conducted an unannounced case management inspection at the facility. LPA met with Administrator, Christina Bursiaga, to discuss an incident that occurred on 2/3/2020. LPA toured the facility, took a census, interviewed staff and children, and observed area in which the incident occurred.
On 2/3/2020, the children in classroom #7 were on the playground. At approximately 9:30 AM, child #1 (see Confidential Names form (LIC 811) dated 2/3/2020) was walking on the sidewalk near the water fountain. Child #1 stated she tripped on the cement and fell and hurt her lip. Staff #1 stated she saw child #1 as she was falling, but staff #1 did not see if child #1 was walking or running. Staff #1 said she went to child as soon as she saw her fall. Staff #2 stated she was also standing near child #1 and turned around when she heard her fall and start to cry. Staff #1 said child #1 was complaining about her lip hurting and staff #1 could see child #1's lip was already starting to swell. Staff #1 said she took child #1 to the sink to rinse her mouth out and that is when they saw blood in the sink. Staff #1 said the sink was disinfected as soon as child #1 was done rinsing her mouth. Staff #1 said they provided child #1 with an ice pack and called her parent immediately to inform parent of the incident. Staff said child #1's parent came to pick up child #1 and took her for medical attention. Staff stated child #1 did not require stitches and returned to school the next day.
Based on the information obtained, LPA determined Licensee handled the incident correctly and reporting requirements were met. After interviewing staff and children, and observing the area where the incident occurred, LPA determined Licensee took appropriate measures to address child #1's injury. LPA further determined Licensee followed proper policies and procedures and no regulations were violated.
Per California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12, no deficiency cited during today's inspection.
Exit interview conducted with Administrator. A copy of this report and Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) were provided to the facility. LIC 9213 FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS |
