Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

surveillance cameras did not cover the area behind the slide area at the time of incident. After LPA and Staff #1 observed the video together, Staff #1 agreed with LPA, the incident occurred behind the slide area at approximately 10:34am. After LPA observed the video and conducted interviews, there were no witnesses on the playground who observed the incident and staff was unaware there had been an incident on the playground. LPA continued to observe the surveillance video and observed child #1 after naptime. Child #1 was walking to the cubby when staff #1 observed child #1 limping. Per interview, Staff #1 was not sure what happened to cause the limp. Per video and interview, Staff #1 attempted to engage with Child #1 to find out what happened unsuccessfully. When the parent arrived at 4:53pm, the center was unable to provide a reason. The center provided an Owie Report to the parent dated February 10, 2023. Based on the Owie Report, the report stated the center was unaware of how the incident occurred and was not sure the time the incident occurred. On March 6, 2023, LPA obtained from parent: hospital medical record summary for Child #1 dated February 10, 2023 at 7:14PM - Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The medical records describe the injury as a fractured distal fibula. The “preponderance of the evidence” standard has been met. Based on interviews, observation of surveillance video, record review, and the fact that staff was unable to provide a visual observation of the incident that occurred on 02/10/23, there is a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the facility failed to provide adequate supervision per Title 22 regulations. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated. Deficiency was cited during today's inspection. Appeal rights were provided and discussed with the facility representative. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Site Supervisor/Teacher, Katrina Williams
