 The person who signs the child in/out of the facility shall use their full legal signature and record the time of day. In one record the parent had not signed in child eight times during the month. See 809-D. All children are under supervision, including visual supervision, of a teacher at all times. There is a ratio of one teacher supervising no more than four infants in care. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with contact information for authorized representative and or relatives or others who can assume responsibility for the child, medical assessment, individual feeding plan, and Infant Needs and Services Plan. LPA reviewed a sample of staff files and observed files were complete with health screening, immunization records for influenza, pertussis and measles and current documentation of completed mandated reporter training. Staff records contain documentation of meeting qualification requirements. Menus are posted at least one week in advance where an authorized representative can view them. There is indoor and outdoor activity space for infants that is physically separate.
Each crib, mat or cot is occupied by only one infant at time and cribs are kept free from all loose articles including blankets and pillows and there are no objects hanging above or attached to the crib. Infants are not swaddled while in care. Staff physically checks on sleeping infants every fifteen minutes and documents any signs of distress which includes but is not limited to flushed skin color, increase in body temperature, restlessness and labored breathing. Staff has been documenting the fifteen-minute checks for the 1 to 12 month old infants, but had not been documenting the fifteen-minute checks for the 13 to 24 month old children. LPA reviewed the requirement with Director and Director stated they will begin documenting fifteen-minute checks for all infants in care today. Individual Infant Sleeping Plan is completed and in file for each infant up to 12 months of age. Infants up to 12 months of age are placed on their backs for sleeping. Staff-infant ratio requirements are being met while infants are sleeping. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with facility representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed facility representative of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
