32 | -Pertaining to the allegation that, "Due to lack of supervision, child climbed onto cubbies resulting in the cubbies falling on top of child causing injury."
-Per the Reporting Party (RP), "it was only when the child climbed the cubby and it fell down directly on their ankle/shin, when the teachers finally paid attention."
On 10/29/2025, during a case management incident visit, staff disclosed that they observed Child 1(C1) attempting to climb a cubby shelf. While climbing, C1 knocked off part of the shelf, which fell and struck C1’s left ankle. At the time of the occurrence, five staff members were present. When asked specifically if any staff attempted to prevent C1 from climbing, Staff #4 (S4) indicated they tried to intervene. S4 stated "I saw the child climbing and I just screamed their name. When the child was already pulling the cubby towards themselves." When interviewed on 1/8/2025, staff confirmed they were actively supervising the child and corroborated that the incident occurred as described.
Therefore, based upon observations and interviews conducted the allegations above have been determined to be Unsubstantiated. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Notice of Site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed Administrator Gabrielle Hovey.
