The LPA observed that all required documents, such as the facility license, waivers, notification of parental rights, notification of personal rights, car seat law, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities, were displayed in the center. The center’s most recent emergency disaster drill was conducted on 10/15/2023 and was properly recorded, as confirmed by the LPA's review of the log.
The LPA reviewed the records of both the children and staff members. The LPA reviewed the files of the five children and confirmed that their Immunization Record, Admission Agreement, Personal Rights Identification and Emergency Information, Physician's Report, Notification of Parents' Rights, and Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment were included in their records. The LPA reviewed the records of the five staff members and confirmed that all five were not current with their Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification. The LPA confirmed that the facility representative's Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification is current. The LPA confirmed that all five staff members completed their twelve units for Early Childhood Education, qualifying them as teachers. The LPA reminded the facility representative that they should have the staff's immunization records and TB test results on file.
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 child care 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).
LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.
The facility representative 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.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the facility representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed the 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.
