The complainant stated a child sustained an injury that required medical attention. The licensee stated there was a child who fell from a chair and hit their lip on the table causing a laceration on the lip. The licensee stated she was not aware she must report the incident to the licensing office. The parent stated she took the child to the doctor where the child was applied stitches on their lip. The two assistants interviewed stated they were not present when the incident occurred. The subject child was non verbal. LPA attempted to interview other children, however children did not speak to LPA. The photographs reviewed depict a laceration to the lip.
Based on interviews which were conducted, The licensee failed to report the incident which required medical attention . This requirement was not met as evidenced by licensee's disclosure of not reporting the incident and the parents interview where it was confirmed the child received medical attention.
