During today’s inspection, LPA observed that staff were wearing face coverings during indoor activities but staff were not teaching and reminding children to wear face coverings per current California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidelines for Child Care facilities. Director provided LPA with a statement that says they have posted a sign on their doors to encourage parents to follow the recommendations set forth by CDPH guidelines and to put a face covering on their child before entering the classrooms. POC does not address how staff are going to teach and remind children to wear face coverings during indoor activities as previously stated by Director. LPA and Director discussed the POC and Director stated that they have brought this to the attention of the children’s authorized representatives and that the authorized representatives do not want their children wearing face coverings while in care. Director stated they’re going to honor the authorized representative’s wishes as it relates to CDPH guidelines regarding children wearing face coverings while in care. LPA reminded Director of the current CDPH guidelines for Child Care facilities. The Director was advised that by not encouraging children to continually wear their masks throughout the day, despite the direction of the children’s representatives, this may lead to possible future administrative action.
