25 | A Required-1 Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. The facility file was reviewed prior to this visit. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee 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. The facility did not have any standing waiver(s).
The facility’s operating hours are 8:30am - 5:00pm, Monday-Friday. The facility was toured inside and outside and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. The items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children. Poisons are locked in a large classroom cabinet. The toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe and in good condition. There is drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors. The facility provides paper cups for children to retrieve only cold water from a water-cooling system with a filtration system. The children’s bathroom is in safe and sanitary condition, and contained two toilets and two sinks. Food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. There was no contaminated food observed. A Menu was posted in an area accessible for review by the child's authorized representative. The Daily Activities schedule, the Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC 610), Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, Personal Rights, Parents’ Rights (PUB 394), California Child Passenger Safety Law, and Local county public health contact information, were posted in a prominent area near the facility entrance. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. LPA observed a working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and a fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. The playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition. (Continue to LIC 809-C) |
