The parent then noticed a red blister on the child's right hand. Upon noticing the blister the parent of child #1 then went back to the facility to inquire what had happened.
2. The parent of child #1 went back into the facility and spoke to staff #1 (Program Director) about the blister, but staff #1 was unaware of any injury to child #1 that would have caused the blister.
3. Staff #2 and staff #3 who cared for child #1 during the day both also said they were unaware of how child #1 received the blister to his hand.
4. Staff #1 (Program Director) confirmed that the facility did not ensure the care and protection of child #1 due to the injury (blister) on the the hand of child #1 that occurred while child #1 was in care at the facility on 6/30/21.
Plan of Correction: The facility responded: All children will go through a detailed health check when dropped off in our facility and a brief check during pick up from the facility. Staff will ensure that playground equipment is checked prior to children going outside to play especially during extreme temperatures. We have reviewed and retrained all our staff on our supervision policy.
