The outdoor playground was enclosed by a fence, and the equipment was well-maintained. The areas around and under high climbing equipment, swings, slides, and other similar equipment were observed to be cushioned with material that absorbs falls. No bodies of water, such as pools or spas, were present in the outdoor area.
The sleeping/resting area was observed to be clean and sanitary. It included mats and blankets.
LPA reviewed five children’s files and confirmed that all five children have complete files that include their emergency contact and medical information.
LPA reviewed the files for four staff members and confirmed that three were up to date with their Pediatric First Aid/CPR certifications. LPA also found that three of the four staff members had completed the necessary twelve units in Early Childhood Education (ECE), meeting the qualifications to be classified as a teacher. The fourth teacher, who does not have the twelve ECE units, is an aide.
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.
LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.
Director 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.
