Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Mel Matos, met with Claudia Albornoz, director, for an unannounced annual/random inspection. LPA notes that the Facility is licensed for 28 infant children (ages 12-24 months) in Classroom #1. The Facility also has a preschool program (#434414542) on site and that program is licensed in Classrooms #2 & #3. LPA observed the required posted materials, including the Facility License, Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC 610), Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC 9148), Parents' Rights Poster (PUB 393), Personal Rights (LIC 613A), Child Car Seat Law (PUB 269), Menus, and Activity Schedule. The Facility has one active waiver on file (shared playground use) and is in compliance with the conditions of the waiver.

A review of staff records on July 09, 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 Claudia 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 five staff (3 teachers & 2 aides) files during today's inspection. Each child's file reviewed contains the Information and Emergency Information form (LIC 700) and Needs & Services Plans. The Needs & Services Plans include individual feeding plans for each child. LPA observed two Needs & Services Plans that have not been updated since March 2019. All teacher files reviewed contain the required transcripts/verification of experience. All infant teachers are fully qualified and have completed the required infant/toddler course. Claudia and two staff have current CPR and First Aid certifications on file. Claudia 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).
