On 4/7/22, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carrie Wisehart, conducted a subsequent complaint investigation inspection to the facility for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. It was alleged that staff did not provide adequate supervision.

The Director was interviewed on site on 4/5/22 and acknowledged that she was notified by W1 on 3/10/22 that an injury occurred on 3/8/22 during the AM class when 2 staff and 14 children were present. The Director watched the rooms surveillance camera footage based on or around 3/8/22 at 10:52 am and observed that S1 was engaging with children at a table while S2 was sweeping in the back section of an adjoining room. On the rug area, 4 children were playing with magnets and per the Director, it appeared some children were trying to give more magnets to another child by throwing them, but not aggressively, resulting in a child getting hit in the face. Music was being played so staff did not hear C1 getting hit. The Director upon observing the video made some positive changes by changing the timing of arts/crafts and how cleaning is conducted and how the class is transitioned between rooms; music is no longer used during free time and magnet play has been moved from the floor to tables.

The LPA interviewed 2 out of 2 staff (S1-S2) on 4/5/22. S1 and S2 both acknowledge being in the classroom at the time of the 3/8/22 incident and confirmed being unaware of the events because S1 was at a table engaged in arts and crafts and S2 was in an adjoining room cleaning/sweeping for about 5 minutes or less, after snack. S2 does acknowledge joining the children on the carpet when the sweeping was done, because as S2 returned, the staff witnessed children throwing magnets and at that time the staff engaged and spoke with the children.

The LPA reviewed the 3/8/22 classroom video and the events were consistent with the interviews. The LPA observed that though 2 staff were present in areas of the room, the children on the rug did not have visual supervision for a couple minutes and were throwing magnets, at one point a magnet is seen bouncing off from the carpet and hitting C1 in the face. S2 did not come to speak to the children about throwing magnets until after the incident occurred which did cause an injury near C1’s eye.

Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.

This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interviews 2 staff were present but engaged in sweeping and arts/crafts so 4 children on rug area had no visual supervision for 5 minutes or less, and magnets were thrown causing an injury near C1’s eye.
This poses a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
