An Interview with Staff 1/S1 revealed (see LIC811 for S1, C1 and C2) was cleaning activity tables while supervising alone in classroom 6, at the time of the incident. S1 was with the 9 children, which is within acceptable ratios. S1 could view all activity areas in room 6. S1 saw C2 physically swinging his arms in a punching motion towards C1. S1 ran to the activity area to separate C1 and C2. Although S1 was not in the exact area at the time of the incident, S1 responded to the incident when it was noticed. Records and interviews with pertinent parties revealed that since C1’s injury, the concern has been addressed to prevent any further incidents. 2nd Incident: The incident report does not give all of the relevant information. The LPA conducted interviews with pertinent parties, which revealed that the facility lost an in-house incident report which should have been placed in C1s file. It was verified that the facility provided the parent a written report within the following day and failed to make a copy for C1s file. The facility reproduced the written report and provided C1's parent with a 2nd copy for their record. Although the LPA was unable to verify the information documented on the 1st written report intended for record keeping in C1s file, it was verified through interviews that a verbal report was provided to the parent and followed up with a written report the following day. It was also verified by the LPA that the facility was compliant with Title 22 reporting requirements by submitting a written report to the department regarding the incident. Although the above-mentioned allegations may have happened or is valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. The facility is reminded to continue to provide on-going training on active supervision to all staff who are responsible for supervising children. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was reviewed with and appeal rights were provided to Director Ana Aguirre.
