25 | Licensing Program Analyst Glenn Schnell conducted a case management inspection in response to receiving an unusual incident report on from approximately 5/29/19. Director Schmalz reported that the parents of an infant informed her that they had taken their child to the doctor to be evaluated for mouth pain. The child was diagnosed with a fractured jaw, and the doctor indicated that it could have been the result from the child or another child forcefully pulling a toy or object out of their mouth. Director Schmalz followed up with the parents and gave them a detailed tour of the infant room. As a result of a separate evaluation of the toys and equipment accessible to the infants in the infant room, Director Schmalz removed some of the toys as a precaution. There was no determination as to where or how the infant was injured. The infant was observed in care today to be active with no signs of discomfort or not wanting to play with or around other children and staff. LPA Schnell conducted an evaluation of the physical plant and toys. All equipment and toys were determined to be age appropriate and supervision of the environment was adequate.
LPA Schnell determined that this incident was reported timely and handled in an appropriate manner by Director Schmalz.
