LPA met with Devorah Leah Lang, Director of the CCC. LPA explained the purpose and nature of the inspection. The facility is located on the grounds of Studio Channel Island Art Center. The Preschool operates Monday – Thursday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM and Friday from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Currently the facility uses two classroom (Preschool Room and the Pre K/K Room) for child care services. At the time of inspection, LPA observed 19 children on site, along with four teachers (cleared and associated). The CCC's Director is assisting with the care and supervision of children on site.
The CCC is clean and orderly. LPA observed required licensing forms and documents posted on the walls of each classroom. LPA observed the CCC's Sign In/Out forms just outside the entry door of the classrooms. The forms contained the arrival and departure times of children in care and well as the signatures of the children's authorized representatives. The classrooms have age appropriate equipment and furnishings available to children in care. The CCC's carbon monoxide detector is integrated in the building's fire detection's system. The detector was not tested by LPA. Director informed LPA the fire detection system is regularly tested and monitored by the local fire Department.
The CCC uses two restrooms. All restrooms are in safe and sanitary operating condition. LPA observed a mini refrigerator in the CCC's office area which is capable of storing food for children in care. Lunches and snacks are provided by the parents of children in care. The CCC has supplemental food on site for children should the need arise. The CCC also has available (bottled) drinking water for children inside and outside of the facility. CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, 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 CCC 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). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2)
