On Wednesday September 3, 2025, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA’s) Joanne Solorio-Campos, conducted an unannounced Case Management-Incident Report visit pertaining to their Preschool License. LPA met with Director Bianca Ciebrant who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. LPA observed 51 children (23 toddlers) with 16 staff during this visit. Present staff are fingerprint cleared. The department received an unusual incident report on 8/22/25 via email for an incident that occurred on 8/22/25. Per Title 22 Regulations the report was reported in a timely manner. During today’s visit, LPA’s conducted interviews with the staff present during the incident and with the director of the facility. LPA toured the facility and entered the classroom where the incident occurred. Staff #1 stated that the class was transitioning to go outside. Child was walking in the classroom towards the teacher in the direction of the water jug table. The Child tripped as he was walking causing the Child to fall hitting their forehead on the table in front of where the water jug was placed. The Child received a 2in cut on the right side of his forehead. Staff #2 took Child to the restroom and administered first aid and 9-1-1 was called by Staff #1. All other children were taken to the classroom next door by Staff #3. Staff #1 also alerted Administration and Mother was then called. The school RN and Program Director arrived at the classroom to help. Paramedics arrived shortly and waited for mother to arrive so they could transport the Child to CHLA. School RN went in the ambulance with the Child and mother drove her car. The Child received medical glue on the injury and returned to school with a clearance note and no restrictions. The event occurred quickly, and the staff was unable to prevent the fall. Staff immediately responded to Child #1 and administered first aid. After staff interviews, and observation, it was determined that staff were unable to get to the child on time to prevent the injury from happening however, there was at least one staff member who visually saw the incident occur; therefore, there is no preponderance of evidence to determine that a regulatory violation occurred, the incident was determined to be an accident. No deficiencies or civil penalties are being cited at this time. Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Director Bianca Ciebrant.
