32 | Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors. Children have access to water through a faucet, and some children use personal water bottles that are refilled using a facility-provided water jug. Disposable cups are also available for children to use as needed. Meals provided at the facility include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Food is prepared onsite, and the facility participates in a third-party food program. Menus are posted at least one week in advance in an area accessible to an authorized representative.
The facility is operating within the capacity and limitations specified on the infant license. At least one staff member with current certification in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present at all times when children are in care or participating in off-site activities. The name of the child care center director, or a fully qualified teacher designated to act in the director’s absence, has been reported to the Department. All children are under staff supervision at all times, including visual supervision. The facility is meeting required teacher-to-child ratios for infant care. Infant records reviewed included completed Infant Needs and Services Plans and Individual Infant Sleeping Plans. Staff members caring for infants were verified to meet educational qualifications.
LPA reviewed a sample of children's records and observed that files were complete and included emergency contact information, authorized representatives, and current medical assessments. A sample of staff records was also reviewed and found to include required documentation such as health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, and proof of completed mandated reporter training.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website at www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to resources such as regulations, forms, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. LPA also reviewed the reporting requirements as outlined in Title 22, Section 101212.
Site Supervisor Maria Sida was reminded that all adults age 18 and older, including staff and volunteers (except as exempted under Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871), must have a criminal record clearance, exemption, or a clearance transfer prior to being present in the facility. A civil penalty of at least $100 per day, for up to five days (or up to 30 days for repeat violations), may be assessed for noncompliance with this regulation.
