Further, it was reported by the facility that on Friday, 09/05/2025, the subject child slipped and fell backward in the classroom, resulting in the subject child hitting the back of their head. Staff interviews disclosed that both teachers present in the classroom observed the subject child fall at the time the incident occurred. LPA also collected written documentation from the subject staff members, pertaining to this specific incident. It was further reported that on the following Monday, 09/08/2025, the subject child was observed to have a bump on the side of their head. It was disclosed that this bump was observed by the subject child’s parent later that evening after the child had been picked up from the facility. Staff interviews disclosed that the alleged bump was not mentioned during the day or observed at the time of pick up. Staff interviews also disclosed that no additional injuries were noted or observed on the subject child on Monday, 09/08/2025, and that the only recent injury known to staff was the fall they witnessed on the previous Friday, 09/05/2025. Based on the information obtained throughout the course of the investigation, it has been determined as unclear where or when the alleged bump observed on the subject child, after pick up occurred. There is not a sufficient amount of evidence to prove that the bump injury was sustained at the facility, or outside of the facility. Therefore, based on the interviews conducted, the review of the pertinent documentation and conflicting information, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the allegation occurred. No deficiencies were cited during today's visit. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Alisa Holtegard.
