32 | Based on a record review of sign in/out records dated the week of 07/31/23 – 08/04/23 and corroborated by staff interviews conducted, C1 was signed into care on 08/02/23 at 8:20am and signed out at 4:43pm. Based on a review of record, “Facility Staffing Worksheet” dated 08/02/23 and corroborated by staff interviews conducted, C1 attended the classroom named “Rockets” on 08/02/23 and was in care with staff (S4) from the time C1 arrived until 3:00pm, with the exception of a lunch break from 12-12:30pm, while in care with S3. C1 was then in care with staff S2 and S3 from 3:00pm until 4:30pm, when S2 left the Rockets group of children, and the 11 remaining children, from both the Rockets and TK classrooms were cared for by staff S3. Staff interviews corroborate that staff do face to name checks regularly, including each major transition to include when children go outside after nap at 3:00pm.
Interviews conducted corroborate that C1 did sustain an injury while in care on 08/02/23 and that the injury may have occurred between the time S2 left the Rockets group at 4:30pm and the time C1 was signed out from the facility at 4:43pm. This is based on the report that S2 and S4 did not observe an injury on C1’s face while conducting face-to-name checks prior to leaving the Rockets group. Records indicate that S3 was supervising 11 children in care between 4:30pm and 4:43pm, operating within the ratio requirements. Although C1 did obtain an injury while in care on 08/02/23 that was not observed by staff, it was not due to a lack of supervision, as supervision ratios were maintained. All staff interviewed were able to give examples of what supervision means, to include scanning the room or yard, observing children at play, helping children to problem solve, interacting with children, and conducting face-to-name checks at every major transition throughout the day. Based on an interview conducted, C1 reported to their parent that they sustained the injury when they tripped over their own feet and hit a tire on the yard with their lip and forehead and did not speak to a teacher about it. Based on interviews conducted, although staff S3 did discuss C1 being a quiet child with C1’s parent, while C1 was present at pick up time on 08/02/23, the statements made by S3 did not constitute a violation of C1’s rights. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the injury occurred just moments prior to C1 getting picked up to go home. Since staff was unaware of the injury that occurred, they were not able to report the injury to C1’s authorized representative. C1’s authorized representative discussed the injury in the presence of facility staff, becoming aware of the injury while present at the facility. Staff was not required to report the incident to CCLD, due to, based on interviews conducted and records reviewed C1’s injury did not require medical treatment and C1’s authorized representative did not seek medical attention.
