32 | CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). Through interview and record review, LPA verified that lead testing was completed in accordance to the directives outlined above. Lead testing was conducted and completed in late June of 2023.
LPA observed snack menus, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently within the classroom of the CCC. LPA also reviewed the children's sign in and sign out forms in the classroom and found the arrival times of children, along with spaces for departure times. The signatures of authorized representatives were also present.
LPA observed a carbon monoxide detector in the classroom. A detector was tested at 10:19 AM and was found to be operational. In the classroom, cleaning compounds and a lock box for medication are stored in elevated cabinets. Sharps, like scissors, were observed in a locked drawer in the teacher’s desk. LPA also observed a First Aid kit backpack in the CCC that contains hydrogen peroxide, band aids, and other appropriate supplies.
The outdoor playground areas are enclosed by chain linked fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play structures in the outdoor play areas have adequate cushioning material (wood chips) to absorb falls. The footing of the exterior has mixed footing (black top, concrete pavement, sand, and natural grass). Shade is provided by trees, a wooden pergola, and by building overhangs. Site Supervisor attested that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected and raked prior to letting children outside.
A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. The last disaster drill on site occurred on 5/1/25. LPA reminded Site Supervisor that disaster drills are required every six months by the Department. LPA confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition that are stored on site. This facility does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services – IMS. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. The following information (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
