Follow-up·June 4, 2025

THIS REPORT IS AMENDED FROM ORIGINAL DATED 6/4/25 TO ADD TYPE A LANGUAGE AND ADD INJURY DESCRIPTION On June 4, 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 on to the Palmdale Regional Office on May 2, 2025. LPA toured the facility with the representative and observed twenty-three preschool children in active care with five staff. On May 2, 2025, the reported information involved Staff observing a Child 1 (C1) on the play yard and tried to retrieve a bean bag out of reach. C1 got on top of a bicycle and fell and put their hand out to catch themselves and fell and broke their wrist. Parents arrived and took C1 to the doctor where a brace and cast were needed. LPA conducted interviews with the relevant parties. LPA reviewed children’s files and completed a safety inspection of the playground. LPA observed the area of the playground where C1 climbed, and it was an open play area with concrete flooring and a roof with shingles over the classrooms. There was a large play structure in the middle of the room with rubber mat as a cushioned surface. Per staff, they observed C1 playing on the playground with the bean bags and other children were throwing the bean bags on the roof. Per Staff, they turned their back and walked away a few feet to tend to other children in a different area of the playground. Per staff, they did not observe C1 climb onto a small bicycle to retrieve the bean bags overhead on the roof and responded once C1 fell and began to cry. Based on interviews, and record review, it was determined that staff did not always have visual supervision of C1 which resulted in C1 being able to climb on an unsafe object, fall, and injure themselves.
