The LPA observed that all required documents were displayed in the center, such as the facility license, waivers, notification of parental rights, notification of personal rights, car seat law, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities.
The LPA conducted a review of the records of both the children and staff members. The LPA reviewed the files of the five children and confirmed that their admission agreement, Personal Rights Identification and Emergency Information, Physician's Report, Notification of Parents' Rights, and Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment were included in their records. The LPA also reviewed the records of the five staff members and confirmed that they held valid certification in Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter. Additionally, the LPA found that the three staff members had completed the mandatory 12 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units, which are a prerequisite for qualifying as a teacher.
The LPA reviewed the center’s emergency drill log. The most recent fire drill was conducted on 10/17/2023 and was properly recorded.
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).
LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.
Ms. Rodrigues was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
