25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valencia conducted an on site inspection for the purpose of a Case Management Incident inspection, in response to an Unusual Incident Report submitted to the Licensing office on 4/6/22. LPA and the facility representative toured the facility inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. Census was taken in individual classrooms. The overall census observed was 46 preschool children with 4 preschool staff. During the inspection it was determined the facility is operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staff to child ratios. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
An Unusual Incident Report UIR LIC624 form was submitted to the Licensing office on 4/6/22 detailing that a child #1 (see Confidential Names List LIC811) had injured their arm while playing on the outdoor play structure. It was later determined that the child #1 sustained a fracture in their wrist. The injury occurrence that led to the fracture was not witnessed by preschool staff. During today's inspection, LPA Valencia conducted a physical plant inspection of the facility, observed the classrooms/physical plants, took pictures of outdoor play structure, and interviewed staff and child #1 about the incident and supervision at the facility. It was determined from the information available to LPA during the inspection and investigation into the incident involving child #1 on 4/6/22, that there were approximately 22 to 23 children playing on the outdoor play area with 2 preschool staff (staff #2, and staff #3), and the child #1 had fallen off of a hanging bar about 3 feet, on to their right arm. The child went and hid under the structure then went to sit on the slide, where a staff #2 witnessed the child sulking and spoke with the child. Both staff #2 and Staff #3 were supervising children but child #1's injury and fall was not witnessed. Based on the information gathered by LPA it was determined that the facility had violated Title 22 Regulation section 101229(a)(1) related to Supervision. A printout of Title 22 Regulation Supervision was reviewed and provided to the facility representative during the inspection.
