On Monday, October 2, in San Jose, California, an incident occurred at a residential daycare where three children accidentally fell into a pool, resulting in the death of two children. The third child is currently hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
At approximately 9:05 am, emergency responders, including the police and fire department officials, arrived at Happy Happy Home Daycare for a welfare check. They discovered that several children had fallen into the pool while under the care of the facility.
The three affected children were transported to hospitals in critical condition.
The daycare mentions on its website that it operates as an accredited home daycare, offering both full-time and part-time programs. These programs feature activities, both indoors and outdoors, that foster creative expression. The website also emphasizes its adherence to all safety guidelines, provision of daily lessons suitable for different age groups, and a tailored approach for each child.
Nina, the owner of the daycare, shares on the site that she is a mother of two and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development.
Following the incident, a joint investigation has been launched by the San Jose Police Department’s homicide unit and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation aims to determine any possible negligence or oversight on the part of the daycare providers, although the exact details leading to this event remain unclear.
