It was reported that on 07/18/2024 child 1 was injured after they fell off a play structure on the playground. The facility was attending the playground as a part of a field trip. Staff 1 immediately attended to child 1, who did not initially show an injury. After 30 minutes, child 1\342\200\231s elbow began to swell, and their parents were contacted. The child was diagnosed with a fractured elbow, which will require a cast. A case management was done today to assess the possibility of lack of supervision or potential hazards on the playground.

LPA discussed safety measures with facility representative. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with facility representative Maria Garcia-Canchola.
