LPA met with Director, explained purpose of inspection, and took a census. On 03/17/2022, facility contacted Community Care Licensing (CCL) to report an unusual incident. Child #1 was walking along the raised cement planter surrounding a tree in the play area and tripped, hitting their forehead on the cement planter. Child #1 was picked up by Parent #1 and taken to Emergency Room and received stitches. Facility advised all staff to redirect children away from the tree and not allow walking on top of the raised cement planter, which is approximately three inches tall. Child #1 returned to the facility and injury has since healed. LPA reviewed attendance sheets and verified there were 23 children present at the time of the incident, along with two teachers. LPA verified staff to child ratio was being followed at time of incident. LPA interviewed Child #1. Teacher #1 and Teacher #2 were not available for interview due to no longer working at the facility. LPA obtained contact information for Teacher #1 and Teacher #2.
