25 | On 1/6/2024 at 2:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst Gigi Reyes conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection at the above Family Child Care Home. LPA met with Licensee, Laurel Penk and discussed the purpose of the inspection. LPA observed 4 children in the play area engaged with different activities under the supervision of the Licensee.
On 11/22/2024, Licensee reported an incident that occurred on 11/21/2024 involving Child # 1 (C!) . Based on the report C1 stood up on a swing and jumped off, and landed on C1's right arm, resulting in a buckled fracture. At the time of the incident there were 10 children playing outside under the supervision of two staff members.
Based on Licensee's account, while she could see C1's act, she was not in close enough proximity to intervene and prevent C1 from jumping. The swing was observed to be properly constructed, age appropriate and built under the foundation of the sand.
Child was picked up right after the incident occurred and was brought to the urgent care where C1 received medical care, including a cast. The child returned to the FCCH after 5 days. After this incident, Licensee had reinforced safety rules with children during outdoor activities.
During today's inspection no deficiency was cited. Notice of Site Visit was issued and must be posted for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee, Laurel Penk. |
