On 09/17/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Miguel Herrera conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection. Today, LPA met with Master Teacher Jessica Speairs and toured the facility, and a census was taken. The reason of this inspection is to discuss an unusual incident that occurred on 09/04/2024. Based on interview and records review, LPA Herrera confirmed, that while playing in the facility\342\200\231s playground child #1 sustained an injury that required medical treatment. Per Master Teacher Speairs two children were playing in the seesaw while child#1 lost their balance and landed on the ground, child #2 then attempted to get off the seesaw and tripped and fell on top of child #1. Child #1 immediately complained that their left arm was in pain, therefore First Aid was promptly administered, and parents were immediately notified. LPA Herrera inspected the seesaw and determined it was age appropriate, the seesaw was approximately 1 foot height and approximately 4 feet in length. The seesaw was located in the wood chip area of the playground, and it was determined that there was appropriate supervision while children were playing. This appears to be an isolated incident and staff took appropriate measures to address the child\342\200\231s injury, following appropriate policies, regulations, and reporting requirements.
