32 | Outdoor playground equipment is in a safe condition. LPA observed that the yard is divided by a plastic orange mesh. LPA observed that the mesh was loose and advised that the mesh be removed because causes more of a hazard when trying to divide the yard. LPA also observed the side of Room 1 is not blocked outdoors and LPA advised that cones or a gate be placed. All areas around or under high climbing equipment, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with material that absorbs a fall. There is adequate shade in the play yard. Per Site Supervisor, they bring water bottles or a jug and cups when children are outside.
At approximately 2:23PM, LPA walked out of Room 2, walked through the kitchen, and into the office to ask Site supervisor a question about valid pediatric first aid and CPR cards due to LPA observing that none of the staff present had proof of pediatric first aid and CPR. LPA informed Site Supervisor that their pediatric first aid and CPR cards are not Emergency Medical Services Authority approved. LPA then went back and walked through the kitchen and observed Staff #3 warming up food in the microwave, and when LPA entered Room 2, LPA observed Child #2 was all by themselves. LPA asked Child #2 how they got to Room 2 and they stated that they "walked through" and went outside. Staff #3 had to inform the Site Supervisor that Child #2 was in Room 2 all by themselves. At approximately 2:41PM, LPA observed that Staff #2 had ran outside to the back yard to retrieve Child #2 who had gotten out of the classroom a 2nd time. LPA advised Site Supervisor that the supervision of Child #2 is of concern.
At 2:50PM LPA asked Staff #3 when they began employment and they stated November of 2021. Per Staff #3, they have taken the AB 1207 training but a copy was left at their previous employment. The request for staff files commenced upon LPAs arrival at the facility. As of 2:50PM LPA had not been provided with Staff #3's proof of the AB 1207 Mandated Reporter training certificate.
Site Supervisor was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Children’s Records were reviewed. Inspection of required forms was made and documented on the LIC 857. Staff present did have proof against TB, measles, pertussis, and influenza. ----Page 2 of 3
