32 | Per Director, the fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least once every six months, and the last drills were conducted on 9/27/2022. However, the Director did not document the drill. LPA inspected the outdoor play area for safety hazards and dangerous conditions. The play yard is completely fenced. LPA observed play area is equipped with a climbing structure and tether ball court. Drinking water is readily available indoors and outdoors for daycare children. The program provides afternoon snacks. Per Director, the facility has a child with medication. However, the child's medication was not stored at the Center but carried along in the child's backpack. Director understood that medications need to be in the original box, unaltered, and have the child's name. LPA also observed that the facility had posted the required forms. (i.e., License, waivers, Notification of Parent's Rights, and Notification of Personal Rights).
In today's inspection, LPA reviewed ten random children's and staff records samples. According to the Director, the teacher assigned to the Kindergarten will come to the children's classroom and pick them up. Older children will line up on the ramp, the teacher will sign in all children, and a head count will be conducted before entering the classroom. All children had a medical assessment, and required licensing forms were completed. Teachers have records of valid Pediatric FirstAid/CPR cards in the file and the required immunization. All staff has criminal record clearance.
The Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
