25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted a Case Management Incident inspection. This inspection is regarding an incident that took place on September 27, 2022. LPA met with Director Amy Bigelow who provided information and assistance during the inspection.
Staff #1 guided LPA to the outdoor play area to observe where child #1 was injured. LPA observed the area to appear to be in normal condition (clean, orderly and free of hazards). LPA also observed the playground equipment in working condition. Staff #1 indicated they were approximately ten feet away observing the area (including child #1 and child #2) when the injury took place. Staff #1 indicated child #2 pushed child #1 off of a 4 foot playground equipment platform, and caused child #1 to fall to the ground. The fall caused child #1 to sustain an injury near the shoulder area. Staff #1 and Staff #2 indicated that staff #1 was in the vicinity when the injury took place.
Post injury Staff #1 brought child #1 in the classroom and where Staff #2 conducted first aid. Staff then contacted parents for pick up. The child was taken to the hospital for medical treatment and returned to school a week later with limited restrictions. Staff followed the required protocol in terms of first aid and "reporting requirements" as the 9/27/2022 incident was reported to Child Care Licensing within 24 hours or the next business day. The Information provided matches the incident report. Based on interviews and observations there were no violations of Title 22 requirements.
