Covid risk assessment was conducted and LPA wore appropriate gear. LPA met with Director, Kristy Knight. Director guided LPA on a tour of the facility and took a census of 54 children with 11 staff.
The incident occurred on 09/15/2023 and was reported to the Department on 09/18/2023 via a written report emailed to Community Care Licensing Department. The facility reported the incident in a timely manner. LPA interviewed Director, Staff #1 (S1) and #2 (S2). LPA took photos of the area where the incident occurred. Based off interviews the incident occurred at approximately 9:55 am.
The Unusual Incident reported that Child #1 (C1) was running on the playground and tripped and fell and hit their head on the cement. It also stated that EMTs were called due to child losing consciousness for a few seconds.
LPA interviewed Director, S1 and S2. S2 observed C1 was running with another child and that they tripped and fell. S2 confirmed that C1 was not pushed or tripped over any objects. Based on S1 and S2 interviews they stated that after C1 fell, they were crying and began hyperventilating from the crying and seemed to go limp and lose consciousness for a few seconds. So S2 rubbed C1’s chest and was asking if they were alright. At no time did C1 stop breathing so CPR was not needed. S1 called EMTs while another staff called for the Director and parents of C1. The other staff took the rest of the children present on the playground into their classroom before EMTs arrived. EMTs arrived on the scene 5 to 10 minutes after the incident and at the same time parents arrived, who happen to be near-by. Parent of C1 rode in the ambulance. EMTs took C1’s
