25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vicky Williamson arrived at the facility to conduct a case management inspection to follow up on incident reports that occurred on 12/3/18 and 4/4/19. LPA met with Director, Tracy Davidson. There were 37 preschool children present with 5 staff members.
On December 5, 2018, the director self- reported an incident of possible lack of supervision violation that allegedly occurred on 12/3/18.
On December 3, 2018, child #1 was running and playing with two other day care children on the playground in the blacktop area. Staff #1 observed the children playing and noticed that they were running. Staff #1 stated that she immediately told the children to stop running and turned away to assist two children in the bike area who had bumped into each other while riding their bikes. Staff #1 stated that at that time she believes that child #1 fell down and hurt herself. Staff #1 states that child #1 was brought over to her by child #1 and child #2 and she was advised by both children that child #1 fell and hurt her head. Child #1 cried but returned to the playground and continued to play. Staff #1 states that she did not observe any injury to the forehead or anywhere else on the child's body. Staff #1 acknowledged that she did observed a mark on the forehead later in the day on 12/3/18, but thought that it was a mark from a marker and not an injury. The parents of child #1 were not contacted by facility staff and were not provided an ouch report due to staff #1 was not aware of an injury until notified by the child’s parent during pick-up. Per director, child #1 had to seek medical treatment. LPA conducted interviews with the directors, child #1 and staff members. Child #1 disclosed that she was running and playing with her friends when she fell onto the blacktop. Child #1 returned to the facility on 12/5/18. LPA reviewed records, obtained a copy of related documentation and facility roster. Based on the evidence obtained, it has been determined that staff #1 failed to provide adequate supervision to child #1 resulting in the child sustaining an injury that went unnoticed. |
