25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ruth Gull made an unannounced CASE MANAGEMENT visit to the center. Met with Silvia Hernandez, Site Supervisor to follow up on an incident that was self-reported on 05/03/19. LPA inspected the area where the incident occurred and interviewed Site Supervisor and Teacher #1.
The incident occurred on 05/01/19 at approximately 10:30am on the playground. Child #1 was playing in the sandbox. A portable water pump (which is used for water play) was sitting on the sidewalk next to the sandbox (it had not been used at the time of the incident). Child #1 had been going back and forth from the sandbox to the sidewalk. While Child #1 was on the sidewalk, she slipped, fell and hit the back of her head on the edge of the metal water pump barrel, sustaining a cut to the back of her head. Teacher #1 heard Child #1 cry out and immediately went to her. Teacher #1 administered 1st Aid and took Child #1 to the School nurse. The nurse cleaned Child #1's wound and applied ice. Child #1's parent was notified, arrived and took Child #1 to the hospital emergency room. Child #1 was prescribed an ointment. Child #1 had a follow up appointment with their doctor on 5/02/19 (no additional treatment was needed) and did not attend program that day. Child #1 returned to program on 5/03/19. Staff moved the portable water pump (from the current location where it had always been) to the garden area (grass/dirt area). There were 21 children present with Ms. Hernandez and 2 teachers at the time of the incident.
No deficiencies were cited during today's inspection.
