25 | On June 9, 2021 at 11:05 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst, Leilani Curtis, conducted an unannounced inspection to follow up on a self-reported incident that occurred on 5/18/21 wherein a 3 year old child (Child #1) walked up the stairs of the play structure, slipped, fell and cut his chin. LPA met with Director Leone Power and proceeded to tour the facility. There were 73 children with 9 staff members present. Appropriate ratio/capacity were observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.
LPA interviewed Staff #1, Staff #2, Child #1, Director (D1) and Asst. Director (D2). On 5/18/21 at approximately 4:30 p.m. child #1 was walking up the stairs of the play structure when he slipped and fell. He hit his chin on the side of the stairs resulting in a cut on his chin. The play structure is made of plastic and is age appropriate. At the time of the incident there were 16 children and two staff members present on the playground. Proper ratio and supervision were in place. As soon as the incident occurred the child’s injury was cleaned, and his mother was notified. The child went to the doctor and received approximately three stitches on his chin. The child returned to the facility on 5/19/21 and remains in care. The director states that summer safety training was held with the staff and children were reminded on proper play equipment usage. The facility responded appropriately and reported timely.
