32 | During Summer Break, staff restrooms are locked; therefore, staff will use the children’s restrooms while ensuring children are not present during adult use. Fresh drinking water is available through a water fountain, a water cooler inside the portable classroom, and children’s personal water bottles.
The facility is equipped with two fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers mounted near the left and right entrances. The most recent fire system inspection was conducted by Fremont Alarm on September 8, 2025. The carbon monoxide detector was tested and found to be fully functional. Disaster drills are conducted at least every six months; the last fire drill occurred on January 6, 2026, and the most recent earthquake drill occurred on January 14, 2026. Heating and ventilation in the classroom are adequate, and all required postings are displayed on the walls. The facility is clean, organized, and furnished with age-appropriate equipment. Surfaces, including floors and countertops, are free of toxins. Hazardous materials and chemicals are stored securely in a locked cabinet. No bodies of water are accessible to children.
The center provides snacks, while children bring lunches from home. Dry goods and canned foods were reviewed and found to be within their expiration dates. Both children and staff use the school restrooms, with designated facilities available for staff.
Children’s and staff files were reviewed and found complete and well organized. All individuals subject to criminal background checks have received the required clearances.
Site Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For childcare center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). This facility operates out of a portable classroom that does not have any water lines to the building. Children bring their own water bottles, and the school also provides bottled water to children. Lead testing is complete and documented.
