During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed four (4) staff members and three (3) preschool children, obtained a copy of the children's roster (LIC 9040), and C1’s record and incident report, LIC 500 Personnel Report, Parents Handbook, Doctor note restriction for C1, Meeting Agenda for Team meeting with Teachers signature, playground map with where the teachers are standing on the day and time of the incident, and Video footage 02/11/2026.
LPA conducted an inspection on 2/19/2026 and conducted (4) staff interviews and attempted to interview 3 children, and 1 child qualified to be interviewed. 4 staff members interviewed stated they did not witness C1 being hurt; however, they heard C1 was crying, and S4 assisted C1 with first aid and an icepack. The LPA also interviewed C1, who stated that he jumped out of the window on his own, with no one pushing him from behind. S4 stated they notified the administrator.
During inspection on 02/19/2026, LPA inspected the playground to ensure the facility has sufficient cushioning (synthetic grass with padding under the climbing structures) to meet safety requirements. LPA reviewed video footage dated 2/11/2026 and observed C1 had jumped out of the playhouse, was on the floor holding their elbow and crying, and S4 was near the child and slowly approached to assist C1.
The program director, Sarah Pham, and the site supervisor, Victoria Hernandez, met on 2/16/26 to review playground safety and supervision procedures.
Victoria Hernandez stated that she will continue to remind the children not to jump from any structures, especially the playhouse, and not to run on the playground. She also said she will instruct staff to allow children to play in small sections and to rotate them through the play yard at set intervals to maintain closer supervision and prevent similar incidents in the future.
In the areas that were evaluated, no deficiencies were observed of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 at the time of the visit.
An exit interview was completed. The report was reviewed and discussed. Appeal Rights were discussed. The program director, Sarah Pham, and the site supervisor, Victoria Hernandez, were provided a copy of their appeal rights and their signature on this form, receipt of these rights. The facility representative/director was informed that the 'Notice of Site Visit' must be posted for 30 consecutive days.
The End of the Report.
