25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacey Williams met with Jennifer Looper , Director for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. LPA observed thirty one (31) pre-school children supervised by 5 staff. Hours of operation are 7:30AM- 5:30PM.
LPA toured the facility inside and out for a health and safety inspection. All cleaning supplies and hazardous items are stored in locked cabinets and inaccessible to children. Outdoor activity space and equipment was in good repair. Restrooms were sanitary and in operating condition. Storage containers for solid waste had lids. Drinking water was readily available inside and outside. The facility utilizes a water fountain for outside water. The playground equipment and outdoor activity space is maintained and in good condition. Bark is being used as cushioning around the climbing equipment and level is sufficient to absorb a fall. Fire drills are conducted and documented. Carbon Monoxide and smoke detectors were present and operable.
All staff present today had criminal background check clearances. Visual supervision for indoor activities was observed during the inspection. Capacity and ratio requirements were being met. LPA reviewed children’s files during inspection and observed they included information pertaining to their authorized representative, consent for medical treatment and a medical assessment form. LPA reviewed a random sample of staff records which included a current CPR/First Aid, immunization records, mandated reporter completion certificate and documentation of the educational background, training, and/or experience.
LPA discussed the Mandated Reporter Training with licensee. Beginning January 1, 2018, Health and Safety Code 1596.8662 requires all licensed providers, applicants, directors and employees to complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and to renew their training every two years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. In addition, existing licensees must meet requirements by March 30, 2018. This training requirement may be met by using the Department’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) online training modules. The OCAP modules are free of cost and available at: HTTP://WWW.MANDATEDREPORTERCA.COM
