LPM Peters defined the difference between a non-compliance conference and an informal meeting. LPM advised that the purpose of today’s meeting is to help the facility staff gain compliance.
Today’s informal meeting is to discuss Type A citations issued from 08/30/2021 – 02/07/2023 for absence of supervision and children’s personal rights.
On 08/30/2021 facility was cited a Type A citation for leaving a sleeping child in an unattended classroom for approximately 12 minutes.
On 07/11/2022 facility was cited a Type A citation for not following child’s dietary restrictions resulting in child having an allergic reaction.
On 07/21/2022 facility was cited a Type A citation for failing to follow child’s dietary restrictions resulting in administration of an epi pen.
On 02/07/2022 facility was cited a Type A citation for two separate incidents of absence of supervision.
Facility Representative stated that they have taken the following steps to maintain compliance:
- Counts and roll calls will always be completed before and after each transition.
- All children will be encouraged to wake up before transitioning outside.
- Number of children will be updated on the classroom and outdoor white board.
- Staff will say the number of children out loud when inside and outside.
- All children with food allergies have a special menu posted on the refrigerator so if a new staff is present they are to review the child's special diet.
LPA and LPM reviewed the supervision requirements and children’s personal rights. LPA discussed using the Department website (ccld.ca.gov) for child care updates, current forms, legislation and regulation information. LPM Peters suggested that Licensee can view information videos at www.ccld.childcarevideos.org. LPM also provided information on Technical Support Program and ways to sign up for it.
This report was reviewed with all staff present during today's meeting. A copy of the report was provided to Program Director Paula Burchett.
