S1 stated there was an abundance of sand on the cement near the playground, and S1 didn't want children slipping, so they began sweeping the sand back into the playground area. S1 suddenly observed two children on the ground and walked over to find C1 bleeding from the forehead. S1 reached out to other staff for assistance and to provide C1 with first aid treatment while another staff contacted C1\342\200\231s parent. On 5/14/2025, LPA reviewed video surveillance footage of the incident which took place on 04/29/2025 at approximately 1542 hours (3:42 PM). The video showed C1 and Child 2 (C2) playing on the outdoor jungle gym and C1 walking toward C2. As C1 approached C2, they placed their arms around C2 resulting in both children falling simultaneously from the platform to the ground below. S1 was seen facing the children, in the area of the incident, sweeping sand back into the area of the playground. S1 immediately went over to assess the situation with the two children. S1 picked up C1 and brought C1 over to the concrete area away from the playground. Another staff is seen walking up to S1, slowing for a brief second to engage S1 in conversation, and then running into the building. Based on interviews, a review of records and review of the video surveillance, the allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that 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. An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report along with copies of the LIC811 (Confidential Names List), Appeal Rights, and notice of site visit was provided to Director Cathy Knudsen.
