NARRATIVE

A COVID risk assessment was conducted. LPA met with Assistant Director, Sarah Pate to whom the reason for the visit was explained. Director guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Census was taken. There were 41 children and 5 staff present during the tour of the facility. The facility was observed to be operating within the license capacity limitations. On August 11, 2023, an unusual incident report was made to the Department regarding an incident that involved a child who sustained an injury that required medical attention. The facility reported this incident to the Department within the required 24 hours. Based on information obtained during interviews conducted with the 2 teachers present during the incident, and Administrator who viewed the video footage of the incident, LPA Babcock determined that the child likely lost their footing during outdoor play and fell attempting to go down the first step on the platform near the slide of the play structure, and fell on their left elbow, fracturing their humerus near the elbow. At 9:35 a.m. during this inspection, LPA inspected the outdoor area and did not observe any hazards near or on the area where incident took place. Based on the interview with staff there was adequate supervision at the time of the incident. It appears that although staff were present, they could not prevent the injury. The child was taken by parent for medical attention. Child has returned to day care. Page 1 of 2
