At the time of the tour the 3 year old class was going on a "lock walk" over to the Sony Studios (where parents are waiting to see their child walk by). Each child has on a bright yellow neon vest and is holding a circle ring along a long plastic rope so they are all tethered together. There are 3 teachers present, one at each end and one in the middle. The Director does a roll call and checks off each child on a list that the teachers take on the walk with them. There is a security guard that goes on the "lock walk" as well.

Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair. Telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation were evaluated. Storage for children's belongings, bathrooms facilities, and isolation area was inspected. First Aid supplies were inventoried. There is a large B II fire extinguisher in both hallways and lobby. Each classroom has a fire alarm and the fire department comes out and runs a check on them yearly. There are emergency backpacks in each classroom that hang from a hook placed up high that go with them on walks and field trips. Some have epi pens that are clearly labeled with instructions and permission slips signed by the parents. LPA conducted a review of medication policy, including administering, labeling, storage, and records kept. All medication is stored in an office next to the Directors office minus the epi pens that are in each classroom. Documentation of current Fire/Earthquake drills was observed by LPA.

The center also has dry snack, Popsicles and other refrigerated items for any child that needs an extra snack.

Mandated Reporter: Beginning on January 1, 2018, AB 1207, requires all licensed providers, applicants, directors and employees to complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and to renew their training every two years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. Website: www.mandatedreporterca.com Please Note: We have recently made changes to our website. The general training for mandated reporters is now a required prerequisite for all the profession-specific trainings. The general training is a one-time prerequisite and needs to be completed prior to completing the profession-specific training for the first time using the updated online platform, launched in December 2018. The general training does not need to be retaken when you renew your profession-specific training certificate in subsequent years. Altogether, the general training and the profession-specific trainings meet the training requirements of the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA), Education Code for school personnel, and Health and Safety Code for licensed child care providers.
