25 | On 02/26/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Denisia Jimenez arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced Case Management inspection. LPA met with Director, Tina Jenkins. LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection was regarding an unusual incident that was reported to the Fresno Childcare Regional Office on 02/22/24. On 02/21/24 Child #1 was playing outside on top of a helicopter structure pushing other children. Staff #1 re-directed child #1 to stop pushing other children and Staff #1 proceeded to physically remove child #1. Child #1 attempted to go back up to the helicopter structure and Staff #1 held on to child #1 by the wrist so it wouldn’t go back up to the play structure. Child #1 attempted to throw himself on the ground and that’s when Staff #1 released the Child #1 wrist. Child #1 began to cry stating its wrist hurt. Parent was contacted to pick up child and child was taking to Valley Children’s for a follow up. Director indicated will she have training on re-directing and personal rights. LPA and Director discussed facilities policies and procedures. Child #1 continues to attend the facility and is fine. There have been no further issues.
This appears to be an isolated incident and staff took appropriate measures to address the staff, following appropriate policies, regulations, and reporting requirements.
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies are cited.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Tina Jenkins. |
