25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mel Matos met with Darcy Hellums, owner/director, for an unannounced case management inspection. Purpose of today's inspection: discuss an Unusual Injury that the Facility self reported to the Department.
The Unusual Injury occurred on March 9, 2022 at approximately 4:50 PM. Two preschool children were playing on the monkey bars in the outdoor playground and were repeatedly dropping off the monkey bars upon reaching the middle point of the bars. Darcy states that two children were doing this as part of a game that both were playing. Darcy states that one of the preschool fell onto the child's left elbow after one sequence. Darcy states that there were four preschool children and one teacher in the playground at the time of the incident.
Darcy states that the child's left elbow was iced and checked for any visible injuries. Darcy states that there were no visible signs of swelling and that the child had complete movement of the child's arm. Darcy states that the child's mother was advised of the incident upon arrival to pick up the child.
Darcy states that the child was taken to see a doctor on March 10, 2022 and was diagnosed with a fracture on the child's left elbow. Darcy states that the child got a cast on the child's left arm on March 11, 2022. Darcy states that the child returned to the Facility on March 15, 2022 and is doing fine. LPA toured the preschool outdoor playground during today's inspection and concluded that the monkey bars are age appropriate and that there is sufficient resilient materials in the playground.
No deficiencies issued during today's inspection. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Darcy Hellums, Owner/Director. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted adjacent to the main door for 30 days. |
