LPA notes that the Facility is licensed in the Olive, Pomegranate, Kumquat, & Lemon Rooms. The Facility also has a preschool program (#434410591) on site and that program is licensed in the Fig, Clementine, and Nutmeg.

A review of staff records on May 14, 2019 indicates that all Facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. LPA reminded Omi of the applicable civil penalties for those adults who have not received fingerprint clearances, are not associated to the license and who come in contact with or provide care and supervision to the children. Penalty amounts: $100.00 per person per day, minimum of $100.00 to a maximum of $500.00 per person for an initial violation and a minimum of $100.00 to a maximum of $3000.00 per person for any subsequent violations within a 12 month period.
LPA reviewed ten children's and twelve staff (12 teachers) files during today's inspection. Each child's file reviewed contains the Information and Emergency Information form (LIC 700) and Needs & Services Plans. Needs & Services Plans also include individual feeding plans for each child. All eight staff files reviewed contain the required transcripts/verification of experience. All infant teachers are qualified and proof of completion of the infant/toddler course on file. All staff have the required immunization records and proof of completion of the Mandated Reporter Training for Child Care Workers on file. Omi and all teachers have current CPR and First Aid certifications on file. Omi understands that there shall be at least one person, with valid CPR and First Aid certifications, on site at all times or present during off-site activities (field trips).
