Incident investigation·January 24, 2025

On 1/24/25 at 12:00 PM (Noon), Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keturah Lane conducted an unannounced case management visit to follow up on an unusual incident that occurred on 12/17/24. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Director Martina Preczewski and toured the facility. LPA observed a total of 20 children with 4 staff. LPA observed children playing outside on the playground when she arrived. The incident on 12/17/24 occurred on the playground when C1 fell off the swings. Director stated C1 was not swinging high, not did C1 jump off the swings, but slid off and fell on the side. Director stated there were a total of 23 children with 4 staff members on 12/17/24, supervising the playground when the incident occurred. C1 appeared to be okay and was able to move arms upon body check by staff. Director notified the parents and provided an ouch report at pickup and stated concerns regarding the child. Parent took C1 to urgent care which initially did not show any issues, but took C1 back a second time since child was still complaining and a fractured collarbone was diagnosed. Parent notified the Director on 12/27/24 of the fracture and Director filed the report with Licensing on the same day. LPA toured the playground and observed the area around the swings. LPA observed sufficient mulch-like cushioning and an additional pad under each swing. There was adequate supervision and it appears to be an unfortunate accident. C1 returned to the facility on 1/13/25 and has had no further issues. Exit interviewed conducted and report was reviewed with Director. Notice of site visit was provided and must be posted for 30 days.
