S1 picked up C1 under the armpits to relocate C1 to another classroom and to move C1 over a baby gate to place C1 inside a different classroom. S1 unintentionally used improper technique when picking up C1 under the armpits and it resulted in the child sustaining an injury.

On 04/01/2026, C1 was seen by a medical professional who stated in the visit's report that C1 had "significant bruising" under the right armpit along with petechiae. The medical professional's assessment was that the injury was not caused by a common childhood injury.

Based on LPA's observations, records review and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

As a result of this investigation, one Type A Deficiency is cited. Exit interview conducted with Assistant Director. Report was reviewed and provided to Assistant Director Kellie Knepper, along with appeal rights.

LPA Jennifer Beehler informed Facility Representative, Kellie Knepper that this report dated 06/16/2026 documents one (1) Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

Also, LPA Jennifer Beehler informed the Facility Representative, Kellie Knepper to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 06/16/2026 that documents any Type A citation to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.
