25 | LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced case management visit to the facility today to follow up on a self reported facility incident in which child #1 fell off rings that are part of a facility play structure which resulted in her fracturing her arm.
During today's visit, facility director Shelli Harder was not present so analyst met with and interviewed assistant director Andree Webb to obtain her perspective on what occurred during the incident. Analyst also interviewed other staff members who were present and involved with the incident and reviewed the facility equipment where the incident occurred. Analyst was unable to interview the involved child as she is only a part time enrolled student.
Based on the testimony received today and equipment inspection, analyst determined that the child in question accidentally fell from the equipment and injured herself when landing awkwardly on the sand cushioned floor of the playground. Analyst found the equipment to be age appropriate (based on posted manufacturer's equipment age recommendation) and of a safe height and the play area's sand cushioning to be of sufficient depth and compactness. Analyst therefore found the incident that occurred to be accidental in nature.
No deficiencies were cited during today's visit. Analyst provided assistant director with a Notice Of Site visit to post for thirty days on their licensing information area before he left the facility today. |
