All 6 out of 6 interviewed staff were consistent when giving answers about the facility’s procedures regarding injury and reporting to authorized representatives. The procedure is described as followed. Staff will immediately attend to child and assess the injury, provide first aids, complete an ouch report and inform Director if the injury is serious. Director will investigate the situation and if needed depending on severity of the injury, will call parents to inform them of the incident. All 4 out of 4 staff reported that, on 06/07/2022, at 10:37am, Child #1 (C1) got injured by another child, when C1 was in line, prior to transitioning from play yard into the classroom. Teacher immediately intervened, provided first aid to C1, informed the Director and completed the ouch report. Director was assisting another classroom and had planned to come to check up on C1 to see if needed, Director will contact the parents. Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes later, without prior notice, parents arrived at 12pm to pick up C1 earlier than usual, which is around 4:30pm-5:30pm, before Director could assess the situation. On 06/10/2022, LPA Tran attempted to interview 5 children, 1 out of 5 children was qualified for the interview, child reported that teacher are always supervising and attend to their needs as needed. On 08/16/2022, LPA tran attempted to interview 3 children, none was qualified for an interview. During record reviews, LPA Tran reviewed facility’s Sign In/Out sheets, staffing schedule, facility’s procedure regarding to injury and report. When reviewed Sign In/Out Sheets, LPA verified that parents did pick up child at 12pm which much sooner than usual pick up time, between 4:30pm-5:30pm, on the day of the incident. When reviewed staffing schedule, facility did have enough staff on the day of the incident, 5 teachers were supervising 37 children on the playground, and 2 staff members were responsible to supervise C1’s class which had 14 children on 06/07/2022. When reviewed facility’s procedure regarding injury and reporting requirements, LPA verified that facility staff followed the procedure and attended to child’s need. Although, Director could not assess child immediately to decide if a call was needed to inform parents, the Director did have a plan to assess the situation before calling parents to report about the incident, if needed, prior to the usual pick up time.
