“The OCC received a complaint concerning a child who was observed in the toddler room to have the cord from a speaker wrapped around their neck. The Licensing Specialist observed all classrooms and interviewed all staff. The staff report that the two year old class walks through the toddler room to access the infant toddler playground. The staff with the twos class walked in the Toddler room and noticed that a toddler had a speaker cord wrapped around his shoulder area and was trying to get untangled. The speaker was plugged into the wall and sitting on the window sill. The staff with the twos assisted the child in getting untangled and then moved the speaker to the counter where it was out of reach of the children. The staff with the twos class reported that the Toddler teacher was sitting at the table with the two other toddlers in the classroom and her back was turned away from the child who was by the window. They reported that she did not see or react to the child being tangled. The toddler teacher reported that she did see the child and reacted immediately, untangling the child and moving the speaker. The speaker has been moved and is no longer a potential hazard.”
