25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Fabiola Vasquez contacted the facility via telephone by Facetime due to COVID-19 and precautionary measures. LPA Vasquez conducted an unannounced Case Management Incident inspection as a continuation of an investigation initiated on 03/19/21. LPA spoke with co-licensee Deserie Velasco, who guided LPA on a visual tour of the facility.
Census: There were 8 children and 2 staff present. Staff-child ratio was met.
During this investigation, LPA conducted interviews with two staff, one parent and two children. LPA obtained Children’s roster, a medical information printout and pictures taken during the virtual tour of the slide and swing set bar.
The incident that occurred on 3/17/21 was reported to the Department on 03/18/21 via telephone and fax. Information reported to the Department indicated that (C1) sustained a dislocated elbow.
(C1) was playing outdoors with (C2, C3, C4, C5), (C1) jumped off the last step of a portable mini slide to reach for a bar that is attached to a swing set, missed the bar and landed on arm statements were made that (C2 and C3) took (C1) to the licensee in the garage after the fall. The two children interviewed stated there were no adults outside with them. When licensee was asked if she saw (C1) fall, she replied I didn't see her hit the floor, Per licensee she was asking the other children where did she hit, show me.
Based on the evidence as presented above, it has been determined that there was a lack of supervision, as there were no adults supervising when the children were playing outside, the lack of supervision/this posed an immediate risk to the health and safety of the children in care, as it resulted in (C1) sustaining a dislocated elbow.
