Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer "Jen" Beehler conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident inspection. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Facility Representative Grishma Dave - Head of Academics and provided access to the facility. LPA stated the reason for the visit was to investigate the self reported incident that occurred on 09/19/2025. LPA toured the indoors and outdoors of the facility and collected the census. LPA conducted interviews with staff and observed the facility. LPA revealed through testimony that on 09/19/2025, there were three teachers present and approximately five children total in the "motor skills area" when the incident occurred. Child #1 (C1) was in the "motor skills area" observing the earth elements. C1 took the glass jar that contained sand and attempted to take it out of the observation area. Staff Person #1 (S1) asked him to return the jar to the place it is kept and C1 decided to run away with the jar in hand. C1 tripped at the transition part of the floor where it moves from carpet to linoleum. The child fell to the ground and the jar fell out C1's hands and broke when it hit the floor. C1 placed their hand in the broken glass when standing up and the glass cut the palm of C1. Staff Person #2 (S2) immediately gathered the other children and moved them away from the broken glass. S1 attended to the child. Staff Person #3 (S3) attended to the children on the other side of the classroom while S1 and S2 addressed the injury. S2 placed a paper towel over the wound and asked C1 to apply pressure. S1 left the classroom to gather the Director Rekha Mundkur. The Director and S2 took the child from the classroom to dress the wound, call parents and call 911. Emergency medical professionals reviewed the wound and determined it was stabilized and suggested the child go to the emergency room for further evaluation. C1's parent arrived and took C1 to the hospital. No stitches were required. C1 returned to school on 09/29/2025.
