It was reported, on or about December of 2025, that a daycare child\342\200\231s elbow was dislocated and that staff do not know how it happened. LPA conducted interviews with pertinent parties who stated that on 12/12/2025, around outside play time and/or lunch time, they noticed that a daycare child was not using their right arm which is unusual for them. Pertinent parties stated that the daycare child arrived at the facility that morning utilizing both arms and that nothing unusual about the daycare child was noted during the health check. Additionally, it was stated that the daycare child was observed utilizing both arms during outside play time. Pertinent parties stated that when staff attempted to look at the daycare child\342\200\231s right arm, the daycare child would not allow them to touch it. Pertinent parties stated that they are unsure how the daycare child\342\200\231s arm was injured. LPA reviewed records and noted that a \342\200\234Child Injury Report\342\200\235 was written for the incident. The \342\200\234Child Injury Report\342\200\235 states that staff noticed the daycare child was not using their right arm when lining up to come inside from the playground. The \342\200\234Child Injury Report\342\200\235 does not state how the injury occurred in the \342\200\234How did the injury occur?\342\200\235 section. LPA reviewed video footage dated for 12/12/2025. LPA observed that from approximately 10:30AM to 10:35AM the daycare child appeared to be utilizing both arms. LPA then observed that from approximately 10:40AM to 10:45AM, daycare child appeared to only be utilizing one arm, with the right arm hanging at their side. Please note video footage from approximately 10:35AM to 10:40AM was not provided to LPA. When LPA asked for the footage from that time frame, the Director stated that they no longer had access to the footage as footage is erased after a certain period of time.
