| 2023-08-03 | Complaint | 13A.16.03.06D(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: It was reported that on 7/26/2023 during "free play" a child fell while running in the gym, consequently cried. The staff did not see any visible injuries and had the child take a break and sit on the stage. The mother arrived approximately 20 minutes later. When the mother arrived it was reported that the child started crying and said that her arm hurt. The mother took the child to the emergency room. On 7/28/2023 the area manager contacted this office to report that the child's arm was broken in 2 different places. The parents disenrolled the child and her sibling. The parents are upset that the staff did not contact them immediately after the fall occurred. At the time of this inspection the teacher involved was on leave. The other staff that was in the gym when the incident occurred is on a field trip with some of the child care children. The area manager came to the center and the licensing specialist spoke to her about the incident. The area manager believed that the staff person did not realize the child had been seriously injured and that is why she didn't contact the parents. The area manager has directed the center that there is to be no more "free play." | |||
