High chairs shall be used according to the manufacturer's instructions and when occupied by a child, a safety strap shall be used and securely fastened.
On October 30, 2025, Caregiver #1 picked up a space saver high chair that was occupied by Child #1 (age: 11 months) to move it from one area to another. When Caregiver #1 went to place the chair on the floor, the back of the chair came off and Child #1 fell backwards out of the seat, hitting the back of their head on the floor. This resulted in the child having a mild concussion and small skull fracture. A safety strap was not used and securely fastened at the time.

Plan of Correction: The high chair was removed from use immediately. I will re-train all staff on proper safety procedures including verifying that children are always secured with straps when placed in any type of seat or high chair.
