Due to COVID 19 guidelines, LPA observed Licensee wearing face mask, social distancing and following CDC and Dept of Public Health Guidelines. Upon entrance to the Facility there were 4 infants and 2 preschool children present in care with Licensee. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary conducted on 10/07/2021 indicates all facility staff or other individuals who required caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. During the course of an investigation, LPA Corral requested a copy of an Unusual Incident Report, UIR (LIC 624) regarding a child injury. Licensee was unable to provide a copy of the UIR. Licensee stated she did not report the incident to the Department of the child injury because the Child did not sustain injury while in in care. Licensee was informed that Reporting Requirements state that the Licensee shall report to the Department any unusual incident that threatens the physical or emotional health or safety of any child. LPA Corral also reminded Licensee that she is a Mandated Reporter and must report any physical or emotional abuse that is suspected to have happened to a child. Licensee failed to inform the Department of an incident that occurred where a child sustained an injury that threatens the physical or emotional health of the child, even if Licensee stated the injury did not happen in care.
