The report involved a facial injury to a child that resulted in medical attention. LPA also reviewed information regarding the circumstances that led to the incident, supervision protocols, and any corrective actions taken if any.

Incident Summary
On Thursday, August 06, 2026, at approximately 9:30 AM, Child 1 (C1) was dancing with her friends and bent down while dancing. At that moment, a child close in proximity, who was also dancing, accidentally kicked C1 in the nose.
Observed was no bleeding as a result of the kick, though C1’s nose appeared bruised. As a result, staff offered an ice pack, but child was observed in good spirits and wanted to return to the dancing activity. Facility staff contacted child’s mother, and the mother arrived within minutes to pick up the child to seek a medical evaluation. The mother later informed the facility staff that the doctor confirmed the injury was minor bruising and required no restrictions. The injured child’s mother kept her daughter home for an additional day as a precaution, and child has since returned to care.
