***Please note: Due to COVID-19, a tele-inspection is being conducted in lieu of an in-person/physical inspection***

On 1/21/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez contacted Assistant Director Vanessa Akers, via Google Duo, to address and conclude an issue previously discussed on 11/4/2020. This Case Management Tele-inspection is being conducted to address other issues that were gathered and discovered while addressing the previous and non-related issue.

LPA Lopez learned that a staff had been working at the facility from June 2020 to the end of December 2020, without being associated to the facility. The staff member did have a criminal record clearance but, the required documentation was never filed in order to transfer the staff’s criminal record clearance to the facility. Also learned, was that the facility had positive cases of COVID-19, that were never reported to the Riverside Child Care Regional Office, as required. On 5/29/2020, COVID-19 resources were provided to the facility and on 6/3/2020, a Technical Assistance COVID-19 tele-visit was conducted, and reporting requirements were discussed.

The facility was found to be a violation of the following Title 22 regulations:

101170 (e) (2) Criminal Record Clearance - All individuals subject to a criminal record review pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871 shall prior to working, residing or volunteering in a licensed facility: Request a transfer of a criminal record clearance as specified in Section 101170(f)

101212(d) Reporting Requirements - Upon the occurrence, during the operation of the child care center of any of the events specified in (d)(1) below, a report shall be made to the Department by telephone or fax within the Department's next working day and during its normal business hours. In addition, a written report containing the information specified in (d)(2) below shall be submitted to the Department within seven days following the occurrence of such event.
