Injuries to this area are uncommon, not accidental under normal circumstances, and require a full and immediate explanation. The daycare failed to notify the parents as to what happened and ZE came home complaining. According to staff there is no report or video record of what occurred. A complaint inspection was conducted on 12/3/2025 and statements from the teachers (DG) were received. Per the assistant teacher(DG), she was playing basketball with some of the children She did not see the child fall. The child told her that another child pushed her. She fell off the bike but did not cry. She asked "is okay?" the child said yes and continued playing. After that, nothing else occurred. The day continued as normal and child never complained about it. Per the teacher (Y), the class was outside on the playground. The child was playing on the bicycle, she went to Ms. DG and told her that another child pushed her. She was with a small group of children playing soccer. When they returned to the classroom the child had a great rest of the day. Per the director, an investigation was conducted by the police on 11/21/2025 and the child informed them that the incident happened on the playground. Another child pushed her off the bike and that is how she hurt herself. The child told the teachers that it happened but she didn't cry and the child was fine so they didn't do a report. This complaint is substantiated as an accident/incident report was not provided to the parents on the date of occurrence. 41. Field Trip Notification/Permission Group: DCF Handbook Not Monitored 42.
