Are they not supposed to give me an injury report AND call an ambulance to check if he had a concussion? I pay $1,000 monthly, have to provide dispersants lunch. Isn't there a law that they are forced to provide me with those things? Please help!!! Thanks!!!
Each state has different requirements as to how an injury is to be managed/dealt with. Depending on the severity of the injury, an incident report may or may not be required.
I am in MN and I am required only to provide an injury report to licensing IF the child required immediate medical attention. If it was simply a fall and some bleeding, I would do as previous poster said and apply the first aid training I have and go from there.
Calling an ambulance is a bit over the top unless the child lost consciousness or if it were life or death situation.
