13 | On 12/22/21 @ 8:23AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Diaz conducted an unannounced inspection. Toured the classrooms and outdoor play area with Acting Director, Jennifer Low. Observed present today were 36 preschool children. Appropriate staff-child ratios were observed in all the classrooms.
LPA interviewed 3 staff who were supervising the child who sustained a minor injury. Staff interviewed denied that the children were not supervised. Staff stated that there were 7-9 children that day with 3 teachers. Primary caregiver was standing approximately 5 ft. away from the child and saw that the child was playing with another child when she tripped and hit her cheek on the structure. Staff immediately applied ice pack and cleaned her up. Child was picked up by parent around 9AM and was taken to see a dentist. Child chipped her tooth and sustained a superficial cut on the cheek. Child returned to daycare the following day. Parent told staff that child did not need medical procedure as the injury was superficial and the chipped tooth was a baby tooth. Throughout the course of the investigation, facility staff were interviewed. There was no evidence or witnesses to corroborate or support the allegation. The above allegation is found to be unsubstantiated, which means that although the allegation may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is found to be inconclusive. No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Jennifer Low. |
