The following is discussed:
Mandatory Forms for the children’s files and staff’s files, Requirements for disaster drills and documentation for both. Role and responsibilities of being a mandated reporter were discussed. Licensee is made aware that it is their responsibility to know the regulations as well as anyone who assists in providing care. Licensee was advised on how to access quarterly reports, forms, and regulations for Child Care online at www.ccld.ca.gov. The licensee is advised that inaccessibility of hazards must be constantly reassessed depending on the children in care. Licensing must always have the facility’s phone number; if the phone number is changed, licensing must be notified. Regulation prohibits the smoking of tobacco on the premises.

The following information regarding ADA is 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: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.
