Division Director reported that on 8/20/2021 at approximately 9:25am during outdoor play time, Child #1 was climbing up on the climbing/swing structure when she fell and sustained a broken arm. Lead Teacher stated she observed Child #1 slip and fall from the second step of the spiral ladder, landing face down with both arms under her body. Lead Teacher said Child #1 cried and was holding her arm after falling from the play structure. Lead Teacher held Child #1's arm close to the child's body in order to immobilize it while Assistant Teacher #2 called the child's parents. LPA interviewed Child #1 and asked her to demonstrate what happened on the day she broke her arm.
