25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jeremey McClain and Christopher Bello met Director Melissa Brandeberry for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. LPA observed 15 infants in two separate rooms supervised by four staff members. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
LPA toured the building including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service, and outdoor play areas. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Furniture and equipment are in good condition. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts. Infant changing tables have a padded surface that is washable and at least one-inch-thick, and the changing tables have raised sides that are at least three inches high. The floors appeared clean throughout the facility. The food preparation space is free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Trash cans with solid waste have tight-fitting covers. Program provides breakfast, lunch, and snack. Menus were posted and drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. LPAs observed full legal signatures while reviewing the sign in and sign out sheet.
Staff and children's records were reviewed. Each child's file contained an emergency card, a medical assessment, and Infant Needs and Services Plan. At least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification (exp. 9/2021). LPA observed functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
LPA reminded the Assistant Director that the AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training must be renewed once every two years. LPA provided the website for staff to complete the training at http://childcare.mandatedreporterca.com/
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department.
