25 | On 2/9/22, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisca Velazquez conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC), to follow up on an unusual incident report received on 1/26/22 indicating that C1 kicked C2 in the face/nose causing C2's nose to bleed. C1 and C2 were playing and C1 became upset and kicked C2. LPA met with the Carla Ayala, Site Supervisor of the CCC and explained the nature of the inspection. LPA notes 25 preschool children are on site being cared for by four (4) teachers and one (1) aide providing care and supervision. LPA notes that CCC cook and family service advocate were present at the CCC as well.
LPA discussed the incident with the Site Supervisor. Site Supervisor explained that C1 and C2 were playing in the sand area by the tires. At the time of the incident, S1 was outside supervising 10 children (count includes C1 and C2). Teaching staff reported noticing that C1 was getting upset and starting walking towards C1 to provide redirection. As teaching staff walked towards children, C1 kicked C2 in the face/nose causing C2’s nose to bleed. Teaching staff provided assistance to C2 by escorting C2 into the CCC and requested assistance from Site Supervisor. Site Supervisor then provided first-aid assistance by helping child wash hands and face and applied an ice pack. Site Supervisor reported having a conversation with both children about respecting personal spaces and also communicate with guardians of both families. Parent of C1 informed site supervisor that there are many changes in the family right now and stated she would talk to C1 about the situation. Site supervisor offered parent of C1 additional family resources by creating a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) for C1 to help child cope with all the changes occurring at home.
Site Supervisor reported that both C1 and C2 returned to the CCC and have continued to attend the CCC since the incident. C1 and C2 continue to be friends and frequently play together.
Based on the aforementioned, it is determined no violations have occurred, thus no deficiencies are cited during this inspection. |
