Staff file review revealed that the Director is missing documentation requirements in the form of Step 2 Orientation, Preventative Health and Safety training, and current Mandated Reporter Child Care Provider (AB1207) training. These are requirements that child care directors/administrators must have completed. LPA discussed with Director that these requirements should have been completed and placed in file by the 30th day after being placed in the Interim Director position, per Title 22 regulations. As of the date of the inspection, the Director does not meet all requirements of being a center director.

Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12 Chapter 1 101215.1(f)(1), are being cited on the attached deficiencies page.
