32 | Staff did not ensure proper supervision resulting in day care child being injured
It was alleged a child sustained injuries while in care due to lack of supervision. Interviews with staff disclosed supervision is maintained by positioning themselves in areas where they have eyes on all the children and by walking around during inside and outside play. If a child sustains an injury the teacher assesses the child and provide first aid if needed along with documenting the incident on an accident/incident report. There was a recent incident where staff had redirected a child several times asking them not to slide down the slide on their stomach; however, the child continued to go down the slide the wrong way and sustained a scratch on their forehead and nose. Although LPA attempted to interview all relevant parties, due to the age and/or verbal skills and lack of information provided, LPA was unable to interview all pertinent individuals. After a review of all the information obtained during the investigation, the inability to interview relevant individuals and conflicting information, it could not be determined if there was a lack of supervision.
Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews conducted, the review of pertinent documentation, and after receiving conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred.
An exit interview was conducted with the Director Belen Acosta, Appeal Rights were discussed and issued, a copy of this report was provided, and a Notice of Site visit was issued.
The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) shall be posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
A copy of this report must be made available for the next three years. |
