Description: The center failed to maintain a copy of an injury form, when a child got injured on the playground and needed emergency treatment.
Evidence: Based on interviews with staff and review of the injury reports for the child, the center did not have a copy of the injury report regarding a child falling from a playground structure on 9/11/2020. The center did follow the procedures for a serious injury and the child was transported by EMS to the hospital with a staff member.

Plan of Correction: Karter School has implemented a duplicate copy system for all incident and accident reports to ensure a copy is placed in a child's file and maintained for records. We are moving towards online reporting through google and this should be up and running within the next two weeks.
