Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)

| 2017-09-06 | Complaints- Legal Location | 3270.113(a) - Supervised at all times | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Noncompliance Area: A child was playing on a foam climber in the toddler room when the staff member went to the door to allow a parent in. The room is L shaped and the climber couldn't be seen from the door. When the staff member returned to the climber the child was crying. It was later determined that the child dislocated her arm after being pushed by another child. Correction Required: Children on the facility premises and on facility excursions off the premises shall be supervised by a staff person at all times. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) A review of the incident led to the climber being moved so it can be properly supervised from all areas of the classroom. Additionally the area of the classroom that is difficult to supervise when answering the door will be closed to play when only one staff member is in the classroom. |
