25 | On February 7, 2024 at 11:15 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zirbes met with facility representative Andrew Sanchez to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. The purpose of the case management was to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident report (UIR) submitted to the Department on January 31, 2024. The unusual incident report was regarding an incident that occurred in the outdoor activity space, which involved child 1 (C1) receiving emergency medical services on January 30, 2024. Upon arrival today, there were zero children in care, however 14 preschool age children arrived during the inspection. One teacher and two aides were present and providing supervision at the time of the inspection.
During this inspection, interviews were conducted with two staff members, child files and personnel records were reviewed. In addition at approximately 1:15 p.m., a safety inspection of the indoor and outdoor activity space was conducted by LPA. Based on LPA observation there were zero hazards observed.
Interviews revealed that on January 30, 2024, S1 observed C1 slide down the slide, then observed C1 looking around for a few minutes while sitting at the exit of the slide. S1 then observed C1 slump over and fall from the exit of the slide. S1 responded and observed C1 was unresponsive. S1 then called Program Specialist and then 911. The two phone calls occurred within a minute of each other. Due to C1 being unresponsive, there should have been no delay in getting medical treatment for C1. Therefore, a deficiency is being cited based on interviews, in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, see LIC 809D.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative Andrew Sanchez.
