25 | On 09/09/2019 at 12:15 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Martinez conducted an inspection at Crescent Heights Early Education Center for the purpose of following up on the self-reported unusual incident that occurred at the facility on 07/15/2019. The El Segundo Regional Office received the written unusual incident report on 07/19/2019. LPA met with Christiane Townsend, Principal, and discussed the purpose of the visit.
According to the report that the Department received, on 07/15/2019 at approximately 10:30 am, staff #1 was supervising the apparatus on the playground when staff witnessed child#1 climbing the steps (railing) and accidentally missed the top step and fell forward hitting her chin on the top base section of the apparatus. Staff#1 cleaned the injury while staff#3 went for an ice pack. Staff#3 contacted child's parent and the child was taken to the hospital.
During this inspection, LPA obtained a copy of the child's contact information. LPA was informed that children nap from 12:30-3:00 pm hence LPA was unable to interview the child involved in the incident or the other children. When LPA asked to speak with the teachers who witnessed the incident, Ms. Townsend stated that staff#1 and staff#2 are both out sick while staff#3 is at a different school site.
At this time, further investigation is needed. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with the Notice of Site Visit were provided to Christiane Townsend, Principal. |
