Incident investigation·September 22, 2025

On September 22, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Calloway, made an unannounced case management inspection to the above facility. The purpose of the case management was to follow up on a self-reported Unusual Incident Report (UIR) submitted to the Palmdale Regional Office on September 18, 2025. LPA toured the facility with the representative and observed seven-day care school aged children and one staff in active care. All adults 18 years old and over have Criminal Record Clearance (DOJ/FBI) and Child Abuse Central Index Clearance and are associated with the facility. On September 18, 2025, the Staff reported an Unusual Incident Report that on September 12, 2025, a Child (C1) hurt their arm on the playground while doing cartwheels and notified the Staff (S1). The Staff did an assessment of C1\342\200\231s injury when it occurred. The Staff did not prepare a written report of the incident and did not notify the parent (P2) of C1 of the injury upon arrival for pick up. On September 14, 2025, the parent (P1) transported C1 to urgent care and the X-rays revealed C1\342\200\231s left arm was broken. On September 15, 2025, P1 received a medical note for C1 to return to day care on 9/15/25 with the cast. On September 17, 2025, C1\342\200\231s returned to day care and Staff observed C1 with the cast on the arm due to the injury that occurred on September 12, 2025. LPA conducted confidential interviews with all relevant parties involved. LPA reviewed staff and children files and completed a safety inspection of the playground. The area observed was a large grass field with no obstructions. Based on interviews and record review, the facility was in ratio when the incident occurred. The staff did not follow proper procedures. Community Care Licensing (CCL) received an unusual incident report on 9/18/25 after the incident occurred. Therefore, the Reporting Requirements violation has occurred. The staff also did not have visual supervision of C1 on the playground and did not witness the injury occur. Therefore, the Responsibility of Providing Care and Supervision violation has occurred. There are two deficiencies cited during this inspection, one Type A and one Type B. See the LIC 809D pages attached to this report. Upon receipt of a Type A deficiency licensee shall post the report for 30 days in addition to the Notice of Site Visit and provide copies of the licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility. This report must be provided to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months and licensee will obtain a signed acknowledgment of Licensing Reports (LIC- 9224) from parent/guardian and place it in each child's file. If these requirements are not met, civil penalties will be assessed. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was read, a Notice of Site Visit, and Appeal Rights were provided to Krista Ribbons, Representative at the facility. A Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for thirty (30) consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting will result in a $100 civil penalty.
