32 | In addition, LPA Barnes reviewed four staff files (S1–S4). Each file included current Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter Training certificates, Personnel Record (LIC 501)/job application, Health Screening Report (LIC 503), Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse (LIC 9108), Employee Rights (LIC 9052) and Education requirements. Files also showed proof of TB clearance, immunization records (pertussis, measles, influenza or declination of influenza).
The Licensing Program Analyst reminded Site Supervisor that Mandated Reporter Training must be renewed every two years. And there must be one staff member that has a current CPR/First Aid certification at all times. LPA also advised Site Supervisor that aides and assistants must be under the direct supervision of a qualified teacher except during nap time and taking children to the bathroom.
First-aid supplies were accessible to staff but out of reach of children. The kit included a first aid manual, bandages, scissors, adhesive tape, thermometer, tweezer and antiseptic solution.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.
During the outdoor inspection, LPA observed that all walkways, ramps, and stairs were clear of tripping hazards. The play area had proper shade, was well-organized to prevent accidents, and the ground was free of debris or dangerous items. Climbing structures and slides had protective surfacing; pour and play. Outdoor equipment was age-appropriate, securely anchored, in good condition, and free of sharp edges or loose parts. Drinking water is available outside through the water filtration station. The outdoor area was fully enclosed by a fence at least four feet high. No dangerous equipment.
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.
