25 | An inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Velasco in response to an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received on 06/21/2019. Facility director Holly Link (D1) reported that an unusual incident occurred between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. on 06/11/2019, when a child (C1) fell and sustained two hairline wrist fractures. D1 stated that at that time, 14 children were receiving supervision from two staff on the facility playground.
At 8:40 a.m., LPA interviewed D1, who stated C1 was climbing on the hay bale fort built by facility children. The hay bale fort was about four feet high. When C1 had almost reached the top of the fort, they waved their arms and fell, landing on their right arm. Staff comforted C1 and called C1's parents in a timely manner. On 06/12/2019, C1 was taken for medical assessment, and a physician (DR) diagnosed C1 with two hairline wrist fractures. At 9:15 a.m., LPA attempted to interview C1, who did not want to be interviewed. At 9:25 a.m., LPA interviewed S1, whose statements corroborated that staff had provided adequate supervision and contacted parents in a timely manner. D1 stated the facility has assessed the use of hay bales as climbing/building toys, limiting the allowed height of hay bale forts and the locations in which hay bale forts can be built, and will ensure there is additional padding for a well-defined soft fall zone.
During today's inspection, staff were observed to provide adequate supervision and operate within ratio, with 13 children receiving supervision from three staff. This report was reviewed and discussed with D1. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request. No deficiencies were cited during this inspection.
