On December 3, 2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Susana Martinez conducted an unannounced case management- incident inspection. LPA met with Angelica Araujo, Licensee, to discuss an incident that was self reported to Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) office by phone on 11/19/2024. LPA was provided with a tour of the facility inside and outside of the home. At the time of inspection there were six (6) children in care of Licensee. No other adults were observed in the home.

On 11/18/2024 an incident occurred at the family child care home (FCCH). At or around 4:45 PM, an infant child (C1) was crawling into a 6-foot caterpillar climbing tunnel play structure. Another child (C2), age 2, entered the tunnel and stepped on C1's hand. C1 was tended to and verified there was no redness scratches, or any visible injuries. C1 was picked up by parents between 4:50- 5 PM.

LPA toured the area where the incident occurred and interviewed Licensee.

LPA interviewed Licensee who states she was not present in the home at the time of the incident, but had left her assistant (S1) in charge. S1 who observed the incident told Licensee that she was washing hands at the sink, which was about 10 feet away from the play structure where the incident occurred. S1 verified that child did not have any visual injuries and communicated to C1's parents of the incident at the time of pick up which was about 10-15 minutes after the incident occurred.

Per S1, C1 started to cry when being placed in it's car seat. Parents of C1 took C1 to the Hospital about an hour after leaving the FCCH. C1 was seen at the hospital, were no fractures were diagnosed. Child returned one day after the incident. Child is still enrolled in care, according to Licensee parents are still content with the FCCH.

To prevent any similar incidents, the Licensee has placed the play structure off-limits and is planning to discard of it. LPA observed a torn off sticker on the play structure and could not determine the age limits on the structure. LPA asked Licensee if she had the manufacturers instructions, Licensee states she threw them away.

Licensee states she purchased the toy structure off of Amazon. LPA asked for proof of purchase, which Licensee provided. Together with the Licensee, LPA observed the play structure is a Qaba Caterpillar Climbing Tunnel for kids ages 3-6 years of age. LPA reminded Licensee to verify the manufacturers recommended age on all play structures. C1 and C2 involved in the incident are both under 3 years of age. Licensee states they usually separate infants from older children to prevent such accidents. LPA did observe baby gate separators.

Given the incident was observed by staff who took appropriate action by contacting the Department and reporting the incident, no deficiencies are being issued as a result of this incident.

A technical advisory is being issued during today's inspection for CCR 102423(a)(2) which states: (a) Each child receiving services from a family child care home shall have certain rights that shall not be waived or abridged by the licensee regardless of consent or authorization from the child's authorized representative. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following: (2) To receive safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations, furnishings, and equipment.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
