25 | THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF A HANDWRITTEN REPORT
Licensing Program Analyst, Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit for follow up on a self reported incident that occurred on 5/14/19 wherein a 5 year old child (Child #1) sustained a fractured arm from a fall on the playground.
LPA spoke with Staff #1 who observed the incident. She stated that Child #1 and Child #2 were coming off the slide and running in one direction while Child #3 and #4 were heading in their direction. Child #1 and #4 collided. Child #1 appeared to "fly in the air" and then landed on the cushioned area beside the slide with his elbow propped up on the slide. Staff #1 brought him to sit down while another staff member brought ice and his parent was called. Children #2, 3 and 4 were interviewed and their statements corroborated Staff #1's statement and the other children's statements. Staff #2, the child's regular teacher, stated that the children (#2-4) told her that same information when she spoke with them on the day of the incident. Apparently the collision occurred while both sets of children were playing tag. Director states that staff has been reminded of proper supervision on the playground and their is no more tag allowed.
There were two staff by the play structure where it occurred, another on the end near the entrance and one near the overhang area by the playhouse. The facility responded appropriately and reported timely. Ratios and supervision were in place. No hazards were noted.
No deficiencies are cited. |
