On 2/9/2022, the department received an incident report stating that on 2/8/2022, Child A was lifting a toy from on top of a shelf, when the toy (a wooden barn) began to fall, hitting Child A on the back of her head. Child care staff member, Ms. Jarjosa stepped in to intervene when the wooden barn started to fall as Child A was lifting it over her head. Ms. Jarjosa was able to catch the barn, but the corner of the wooden barn hit Child A in the back of her head resulting in a cut. Child A was immediately administered First Aid by child care staff member, Ms. Laturneau and Child A's mother was notified of the incident. Child A's mother took her to urgent care where the physician glued the cut on Child A's head. Child A returned to school on 2/9/2022. On 2/10/2022, I interviewed Child A's mother via telephone. Child A's mother stated that this was the first time something like this has happened. She was initially shaken up when the child care center notified her of the incident. The child care staff members notified her of the incident and sent her pictures of the cut of her child's head. She picked her child up from the child care center and took her to urgent care where they "glued her head shut" and Child A returned to school the next day. Child A's mother stated she does not have any concerns with the child care center and believes it was an accident. Child A's mother expressed concern regarding something falling on her child at school and stated that her child likes to do things for herself. Child A's mother stated the child care center called and texted her to check on her child later that evening. On 2/14/2022, I conducted an unannounced onsite inspection at the center. I interviewed Ms. Jules who said the toy was a wooden barn that typically child care staff members would take off the shelf in the morning and put on the floor for children. That day, the wooden barn was on the shelf and Child A lifted the barn above her head to take it off the shelf. The wooden barn sits on a Lakeshore child size shelf approximately 30 inches tall. Ms. Laturneau brought Child A to the office after the incident. Ms. Jules administered First Aid and called Child A's mother and informed her of the incident and that Child A might have to be seen by a doctor. Ms. Jules stated that Child A's mother seemed concerned, and that Ms. Jarjosa had sent Child A's mother pictures of the wooden barn and shelf. Child A's mother expressed concern but did not appear upset as she wanted to know how the incident happened. Ms. Jules sent an email to all staff members to reevaluate their classrooms and what they have on their shelves. If anything weighed more than one pound, then staff had to remove the item from the top of the shelf. Ms. Jules and the Early Childhood Specialist went through each of the classrooms to ensure there were no heavy objects or materials on the shelves where children can reach. On 2/14/2022, during the unannounced onsite inspection, I interviewed Ms. Jarjosa. Ms. Jarjosa stated that she was the third staff member in the classroom; they were 3 thirteen or fourteen children on the day of the incident. Ms. Jarjosa was additional staff in the classroom, assisting the two permanent child care staff. Ms. Jarjosa was on the carpet supervising the children who played in the block area. Ms. Jarjosa looked over and saw Child A pushing and then lifting the barn with two hands; the barn was on the edge of the shelf tipping forward. She rushed over to assist Child A, but the barn was already unstable and falling. When she called out to Child A, Child A turned sideways as the barn fell on her head. When she went to comfort Child A (rubbing her back and head) she noticed the blood on her head. Ms. Jariosa got the attention of the lead child care staff member, who took Child A to the office immediately. The lead child care staff member returned to the classroom a short time later to gather Child A's belongings. The lead child care staff member told M
