On March 1, 2024, at approximately 2.15pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tso made an unannounced required visit to the child care center listed above. The LPA was granted entry by the teacher, Fabienne Adrover. The Director, Karine Leung returned to the facility at approximately 2.40pm. The Director was informed of the reason for today's visit by the LPA. Present in the Center included Director, 3 staff members and 17 preschool-aged children. All individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare center. The center is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children. The Center was a French Immersion Preschool that ran a preschool program in two classrooms (Front & Back) that were separated by a wall. Child Care Licensing granted a waiver for the usage of the outdoor play area by schedule when CCL licensed it. Hours of operation are Monday- Friday, 8:30 am- 5:30 pm.

LPA assessed the Center for Health and Safety Hazards with the Director. Per Director, there are no changes to the existing physical plant. The facility maintains a record of sign-in/out for children via the system called "Hi MaMa", and 15 out of 17 parent signatures were accounted for and matched the number of children present. LPA reminded the Director to ensure parents to sign in /out on the facility record. The classrooms’ environment appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center also provided age-appropriate toys, furnishings, changing tables, and equipment. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or other bodies of water at the facility. According to the Director, no firearms or weapons are present at the Center, and all cleaning materials and potentially hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. Personnel restrooms are separate from children, and all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains a carbon monoxide detector, centralized smoke alarm, fully charged fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings. The facility has used mats as napping equipment and stored properly. There is sufficient sleeping equipment and mats for each child, and all mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. All children have brought their lunch & snacks and water bottles with their names to school daily.

The facility has an outdoor waiver approved by the Department that allows children to play with schedule. LPA observed that the outdoor playground area is in good repair and completely fenced for supervision. The play structure is age-appropriate and in good condition, with sufficient cushioning underneath.

LPA checked the personnel and five children's records at the facility. One of the teachers has not yet obtained the criminal background check clearance. Per the Director, the fingerprint background check was done on 2/20/2024. (Refer to LIC890-D for citation.) A sample of children's files was found to contain comprehensive information such as medical assessments, needs, services. The staff files were also well-organized and thorough, with proof of educational credentials, and Mandated Reporter Training Certificate (AB1207) valid until 6/25. Multiple staff members were observed to have valid CPR/First Aid cards and vaccine proofs for Measles, Pertussis, and Influenza in their files. Additionally, the facility had posted the required documents, including the license, waivers, Notification of Parental Rights, Notification of Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, and Emergency Disaster Plan. The Director stated that fire and earthquake drills are conducted in every 6 months, with the most recent fire drill being held in December 2023.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the Director and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed the Director of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

LPA reminded the Director that as of September 1, 2016. A person may not be employed or volunteer at a childcare facility unless he or she has been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles.

The Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care
Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

The Director 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.

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 with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. The result indicated by the laboratory report that leads in the drinking water levels were below the current California Action limit of 5.5ppb (Action Limit).

However, LPA referred the Director to the Department website for lead: Lead Toxicity Prevention and Water Testing Information. LPA searched on the webpage of Child Care Center Lead Sampling and Reporting Tool. The lead water test was done on 03/14/2023, which did not complete testing prior to the deadline. Type B deficiency citation was issued. (Please refer to LIC809-D). The lead test result indicated that leads in drinking water levels were below the Action Limit. Hence, the deficiency citation was cleared at today visit.
