A complete file review was conducted prior to today's inspection. LPA toured the facility inside and outside. A census was taken during naptime. The purpose of today's inspection was to address an unusual incident that took place at the facility on 09/13/2023. An Unusual Incident Report was submitted to the Fresno Community Care Licensing Office regarding an incident that occurred on 09/13/2023 involving a daycare child that fell when the child observed the parent arrive for pick-up. The child was running from the woodchip planter box towards the cement and tripped over the plastic barrier onto the cement. The child sustained an injury to the face.

Staff #2 and Staff #3 were not available for interviews at the time of today\342\200\231s inspection. The child\342\200\231s parent was also present and immediately responded to the child and rendered aid. The Director was notified and assisted in providing aid to the child. On 10/10/2023, LPA Mireles observed the outdoor planter area where the incident took place. The outdoor planter was inspected and was in good condition with no visible defects. At the time of the incident there were three teachers present and approximately 31 children at the outdoor playground area when the incident occurred; therefore, adequate supervision was in place.
