25 | On 5/3/2022, Licensing Program Analyst, Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit to evaluate the circumstances surrounding a self-reported incident that occurred on 3/18/22, when a 17 mo. old child (Child #1) tumbled off the platform of a small play climber and sustained a bump to the head. Director was out ill, however, LPA was able to connect via telephone.
LPA reviewed the equipment and the area where the equipment was located at the time of the incident, spoke with the Director and reviewed a statement written by Staff #1 who was the staff present at the time. LPA reviewed the equipment online and determined that the play climber is made by Step2. Manufacturer's recommendation states that the equipment is to be used by children 18 months to 5 years. Child #1 was not yet 18 months at the time when the climber was used by the infant program.
Based on this information, a Type B citation will be cited on the accompanying LIC 809D for using play equipment beyond outside the range of manufacturer's recommendations.
Notice of Site Visit was given and will remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
