On 01/29/2024 at 11:45 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), A. Curry conducted an unannounced required inspection. LPA met with designated facility Director, Allison Crapo. This is a preschool age program with a Toddler Component licensed for 36 children which operates Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Per the Director there are 24 children enrolled.

LPA A. Curry began facility tour and all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. LPA observed 10 preschoolers, 5 toddlers, 2 teachers, and 4 parent volunteers. LPA observed parent volunteers, supervising and alone with children (See 809D). The director was advised that the facility may utilize volunteers provided that such volunteers are supervised and not included in the center's staffing plan. Staff and parent volunteer names were recorded.

LPA observed the facility to be clean, safe, sanitary and in good repair. Furniture and equipment were inspected for good repair, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. All indoor classrooms were inspected to ensure that the floors have a surface that is safe and clean. All toilets and hand washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating conditions. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. At this time, the office is used as an isolation area. Parents are contacted immediately when children are determined to be ill and staff are ensuring that children with obvious symptoms of illness are not being accepted.

At this time the facility does not provide any food. All food is provided by the child's authorized representative. There is drinking water available in all indoor classrooms and individual water bottles are taken outdoors. All storage containers for solid waste, including moveable bins, have tight fitting covers on and are in good repair. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons and other items that are dangerous to children are stored in an area inaccessible to children. Facility has one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors that meet statutory requirements. The licensee takes measures to keep the facility free of flies, other insects and rodents.

Areas around and/or under climbing equipment have cushioning material to absorb a fall. LPA did not observe any bodies of water during this visit. Director states there are no weapons or firearms on the premises.

Sign in and out sheets were reviewed to ensure that the person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day. Staff Records were reviewed to ensure that a health screening report is on file. Children’s Records were reviewed to ensure that Identification and Emergency form and a medical assessment are on file. Criminal Records Clearance for adults and verification of CPR/First Aid and health preventative practices documentation was reviewed.



CCC DID NOT COMPLETE TESTING PRIOR TO THEIR DEADLINE

The facility did not test its drinking water for lead contamination prior to the January 1, 2023 deadline(See 809D). Director indicated the water was not tested because the director was initially informed the building was constructed in 2019. The director was recently notified that the building was constructed prior to 2010, so she stated the facility will conduct the required lead testing.

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.
For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP).

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes 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) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

Licensee was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
