On July 18, 2023, at approximately 9:30-9:40 am, the children in the class were standing on the carpet area and the teacher put Freeze Dance on the television. According to interviews conducted, Staff #1, (S1) was standing behind the children watching them dance, and then freeze as instructed by the Freeze Dance activity. S1 observed Child #1 (C1) lose their balance and fall forward hitting the edge of the table just below their lower lip. C1 sustained an injury to the lower lip area, which required 5 stitches. LPA observed the edge of the table that C1 fell onto to be rounded and approximately 7 feet from where S1 stated C1 was standing. S1 was in ratio as there were 8 children and one staff in the classroom on the day of the incident. It appears the injury was an accident. Staff interviewed stated first aid was applied and the parent of C1 was notified of the injury promptly. Parents interviewed reported they are happy with the care being provided to their children. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. There were no deficiencies cited per California Code of Regulations Title 22. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Administrators, Lupe Garcia and Leti Urtecho.
