25 | On 11/5/21, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvin Baddley contacted an unannounced Case Management inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC), to follow up on the report of an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received by the Department on 11/18/21. Specifically, a child in care, Jose Nicholas Beltran Zarate (DOB:2/28/17 ), herein C1, fractured left arm (lower).after slipping from the monkey bars of a play structure in the CCC's outdoor play area. LPA met with Kali Coleck, Program Manager of the CCC and explained the nature of the inspection. LPA notes 39 children are on site along with 12 teachers providing care and supervision.
LPA and Program Manager viewed the play structure where C1 slipped from. LPA notes the play structure is age appropriate and the footing under the structure has ample cushioning material (i.e. wood chips and cushion mat) to absorb falls. Program Manager notes teachers serve as spotter when children are using the play structure's monkey bars. LPA notes C1 is currently attending the CCC and has a hard cast on the injured area. Staff report C1 has not prolonged issues related to the injuries.
Based on observations and the interview with the Program Manager it is determined neither the equipment at the CCC nor the actions of the CCC's staff contributed to C1's incident. LPA best categorized the incident as an accident.
