591-1-1-.07 · Rule 591-1-1-.07 requires Center Staff to immediately notify Parents and obtain specific instructions until the child can be picked up or returned to the group when professional medical attention is required, or when the child experiences symptoms of moderate discomfort such as elevated temperature, vomiting, or diarrhea and to notify Parents by the end of the day when professional medical attention is not required, when the child experiences symptoms of less than moderate discomfort or when the child experiences an adverse reaction to prescribed medication which does not constitute moderate discomfort.

During an investigation, it was determined that on May 18, 2022, at approximately 3:00 P.M., center staff failed to notify the parent when a one-year-old child sustained a fractured right tibia and showed moderate signs of distress. Staff were not aware that the injury occurred. Professional medical attention was obtained for the child as a result of the injury.
