ALLEGATION(S): Facility staff did not properly report incidents involving day care child. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: LPA's J.V. and D.C. met with center Director K.S. for a subsequent complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present during the investigation were, 7 staff and 36 preschoolers in care. It was alleged that facility staff did not properly report incidents involving day care child. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted and files and records reviewed. An incident occurred when a child displayed an injury for which she received medical attention and told parent they fell off a bike. Interviews disclosed the child has a high pain tolerance and does not always cry or complain when she is hurt. Staff interviews disclosed the school policy is to report all incidents verbally or in writing whether or not child cries. Staff stated they did not recall child playing with the tricycles or falling or getting hurt. At this time, it cannot be determined whether or not facility staff did not properly report incidents involving day care child.
