On August 22, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst, Leilani Curtis, conducted an unannounced inspection to follow up on self-reported incident that occurred on 08/17/2023. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Letisia Ford and proceeded to tour the facility. There were 86 children with 18 staff members present. Appropriate ratio/capacity was observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility. LPA interviewed the director, staff #1 (S1), and staff #2 (S2).

Facility staff state that on 08/17/23 at approximately 11:00 a.m., seven children with two staff members were having a “dance party” and/or music & movement session in the “soft room” when a 2-year-old daycare child (C1), who was jumping on the pillows started to cry. The staff members state that C1 did not fall down and was not bumped by other children. C1 had no visible injuries. Staff comforted C1. The assistant director assessed the child and notified C1’s parent of the situation. C1 was taken to the doctor and diagnosed with a dislocated left elbow. At the time of the incident there were 7 children with 2 staff members. Proper ratio was in place at the time of the incident. The parent of C1 was notified of the incident the same day and Community Care Licensing was notified timely. LPA toured the area where the incident occurred. LPA observed that the classroom is carpeted and contains several large pillow seats and a corner seating area constructed of soft vinyl and covered with pillows. The director states that she spoke with staff about limiting the type of activities completed in the room. The room will be used for reading and other quiet activities. Staff will continue to review the rules of the "soft room" with the children prior to it’s use.

No deficiency cited.
