Observation
Restrooms for children to use were observed to be in operating condition. Play equipment were maintained in a good condition, free of hazards. A drinking water fountain was observed and accessible to children in the classroom. Folding doors were used to divide classrooms if applicable. Trash cans for solid waste did not have covers on during inspections. The director stated that the trash cans were covered by lids during the day but uncovered during lunch time for children to dump the trash. A camera toward the front door was observed in the classroom. The director stated that the camera, which was used for security, did not store any images.

The teacher/child ratio was in compliance during today's inspection. 18 preschool children with 3 teachers and 20 pre-k children with two teachers. The director stated that she understands the conditions, limitations, and capacity specifications of the Facility license and that children shall be always supervised within the classroom and in the playground areas.

The playground area is surrounded by appropriate fencing. Shade is provided by arbors in the playground area. The fabrics on the arbor were torn apart due to the winds recently. The director stated that she would have the fabrics be fixed. A12-inch-diameter well was observed in the back of the playground. The director stated that heavy rains would retain in the playground if water was not sucked out. Tape of “caution” was used to block children from entering into the well area. The outdoor equipment is age-appropriate and in good condition. There is a climbing structure in the playground that is age appropriate. Areas around and under high climbing equipment were cushioned with material that absorbs falls. There were no bodies of water observed.

Records review
Disaster drills shall be conducted at least every six months and be maintained for at least one year. The last drills were conducted on 2 / 16 / 24 . LPA reviewed facility's sign in/out procedure and record. Parents gave permissions to the facility to sign in and out of their child. A sampling of children and staff files was selected for review. Children records reviewed includes Admission Agreement, Identification and Emergency Information, Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment form, Medical Assessment, and immunization. Staff records reviewed include Criminal Record and Child Abuse Index Background Check Clearance, Health Screening Report with TB Clearance, Immunization Record for Measles and Pertussis, Education Qualification, and required Training. LPA advised the director that the AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training needs to be renewed every two years. There was at least one person with documented current certification in Pediatric CPR/1st Aid present at the facility during LPA' inspection.

LPA advised the director 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.

Discussion
Water lead test: 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). The facility did not finish the lead testing to comply with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1.CCP. The owner stated that the facility was recommended by the California ChildCare Resource Network not to have water lead test because the facility did not provide food. However, the facility did not consult with the licensing department for guidance as the resource network also recommended. LPA advised the owner to request a waiver for water lead test or have the water tested. LPA referred the director to the Department website for lead: Lead Toxicity Prevention and Water Testing Information. Beginning January 1, 2019 AB2370 requires licensed homes and centers to share information on the risks and effects of lead exposure with enrolling and re-enrolling families.
