32 | LPA Barnes inspected the indoor environment. The flooring did not present tripping or slipping hazards. Toy containers had edges and lids designed to prevent finger entrapment. Each child had an individually labeled storage space. Bathroom and toilets met the required ratio regulation. Bathrooms were cleaned daily. Cleaning supplies and chemicals were stored in locked cabinets separate from food and out of children’s reach. Classroom floors were swept daily, carpets were vacuumed, and floors were mopped twice per week.
LPA Barnes reviewed five children’s files during the inspection and found them complete. LPA Barnes reviewed the sign-in and sign-out records. Parents manually signed in and out, recording the date and time.
LPA Barnes reviewed three staff files. All files were complete. LPA Barnes informed the Director that Mandated Reporter Training was required every two years. LPA Barnes stated that at least one staff member was required to maintain current CPR and First Aid certification at all times. LPA Barnes stated that aides and assistants were required to remain under the supervision of a qualified teacher except during naptime or bathroom transitions
During the outdoor inspection, LPA Barnes observed that all walkways, ramps, and stairs were free of hazards. The outdoor space was fenced at least five feet high, was free of debris, and did not contain any accessible hazards or bodies of water. The play area provided shade and was arranged to allow movement and access.
First aid supplies were observed in an accessible location for staff and out of children’s reach.
Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over responsible for administration or direct supervision of staff, persons who provides care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, 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.
