Incident investigation·May 10, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aman Sharma was at the facility on another matter. A case management inspection was also conducted to follow-up on an unusual incident report submitted by the facility on 04/27/2023. It was reported that while on the playground at 4:48pm on 04/26/2023, a child lost their grip and fell back, landing on their right shoulder. During the inspection, LPA toured the facility, including where the reported incident took place, took census, and met with Director, Heather Uribe to discuss the reported incident. During this inspection, LPA spoke with pertinent parties; staff involved in the incident when it took place, and the subject child(ren) involved in the incident. It was disclosed that a child sustained a broken Humerus as a result of slipping off the play structure they were playing on outside. This incident occurred as staff was releasing another child to their authorized representative for dismissal for the day. LPA checked the area of the play structure and ensured that there is mulch as a soft landing for children while playing outside. Based on all the information obtained during the visit, as well as an inspection of the play structure where the incident occurred, there appeared to be no violations of Title 22 Regulations pertaining to the incident reported. An exit interview was held with Director, Heather Uribe. A Notice of Site visit was issued, along with a copy of this report. This report shall be public record for three years.
