Areas around swings, slides, and high climbing equipment have cushioning material to absorb falls. There are no pools, hot tubs, ponds, or any other bodies of water accessible to children during today's inspection.
The facility has a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, working smoke detector, working carbon monoxide detector, and working telephone. At least one staff member has current CPR/1st Aid certificate and all staff have Mandated Reporter Training certificates. The facility is in ratio today. Children's files and staff files were reviewed for proper documentation. All required forms are posted in public view, including menus. Facility roster was obtained.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. This facility does not provide IMS to children in care at this time. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.”
Director was reminded that ALL assistants, volunteers, frequent visitors, or adults present in the facility that are 18 years of age or older must be fingerprint cleared and associated to this facility prior to being in the presence of children in care or an immediate civil penalty will be assessed from $100 to $3000 per person, per incident.
Director was reminded that California Law requires licensed Child Care Centers to report unusual incidents or injuries to children in care to child's parents and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624). Incidents must be reported within 24 hours by phone, fax, or electronic mail. LPA informed the Director that all forms can be downloaded at www.ccld.ca.gov and encouraged the Director to email childcareadvocatesprogram@dss.ca.gov to be included in the Child Care Quarterly Updates distribution list. The Director was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training ("General" and "Child Care Providers") is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years by visiting www.mandatedreporterca.com. |
