25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted a Case Management Incident inspection. This inspection is regarding an incident that took place on March 7, 2023. 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 to be in working condition.
Staff #1 indicated they were approximately seven feet away observing the area (including child #1) when the injury took place. Based on the position of child #1 and staff #1, the injury was not preventable as child #1 was running up the playground structure. Staff #1 indicated child #1 was running up the stairs when the child tripped and fell forward hitting the underside of the chin.The fall caused child #1 to sustain a cut underneath the chin.
Immediately post injury it was indicated that staff #2 assisted staff #1 administering first aid. The facility then contacted parents for pick up. The child was taken to the hospital for medical treatment and returned to school the next day with no restrictions. Note: LPA observed child #1 playing and interacting with no restrictions. Staff followed the required protocol in terms of first aid and "reporting requirements" as the 3/8/2023 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.
