25 | On 04/08/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valerie Mireles met with Interim Director Shelly Federico for an unannounced Case Management inspection. A complete file review was conducted prior to today's inspection. LPA toured the facility inside and outside and a census was taken. There were 43 children separated into four classrooms. The purpose of today's inspection was to address an unusual incident that took place at the facility on 03/05/2024.
An Unusual Incident Report was submitted to the Fresno Community Care Licensing Office regarding an incident that occurred, on 03/05/2024, involving a daycare child (Child #1) that fell while jumping over cones and bumping into another child (Child #2) resulting in Child #1 sustaining an injury to the buttocks. On 04/08/2024, LPA spoke with the Staff #1, who was present when the incident occurred and was in proximity of the child when the incident occurred. According to Staff #1, Child #1 was jumping over plastic cones, bumped into Child #2. Child #1 then fell, landed on their buttocks. Staff #1 went over and checked on Child #1, comforted Child #1 while they cried, then Child #1 continued to play. Just before parent pick-up, Child #1 complained about their “bottom” hurting and parent was notified during pick-up. According to Staff #1, the child was taken by parent to their physician the following morning after the incident due to bruising to the buttocks. The parents kept the child home from preschool for two days and the child returned with no special accommodations required or a doctor's note.
On 04/08/2024, LPA observed the outdoor play area where the incident took place. The outdoor play area, plastic cones were inspected and were in good condition with no visible defects. The ground where the incident took place was cushioned to absorb falls. At the time of the incident there was one teacher, one teacher assistant present, and approximately seven children present at the outdoor playground where the incident occurred; therefore, adequate supervision was in place. LPA obtained facility records and staff records. Continued to LIC809-C.
