Playground equipment is in safe condition, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. The surface of the outdoor activity space is maintained in a safe condition and is free of hazards. Areas around high climbing equipment, swings, and slides have cushioning material in the form of rubber mulch to absorb falls.

Facility representative 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.

Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. At least one person trained in Pediatric CPR and First Aid is present when children are at the facility or at offsite activities. The person who signs the child in/out of the facility uses their full legal signature and records the time of day. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with contact information for authorized representatives or others who can assume responsibility if the authorized representative cannot be reached. LPA observed that all children’s files contained a medical assessment. LPA reviewed staff files and observed files were complete with immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles. Staff 1 had a health screening that was performed more than one year prior to employment, but did have a valid TB test; Staff 2 had a health screening that was performed by a doctor of chiropractic instead of physician; Staff 3 did not maintain record of a current mandated reporter training. LPA observed Staff 2 and Staff 4 were wearing face shields while indoors at the facility. LPA discussed the use of face coverings while in the facility, as required by the CA Dept. of Public Health Guidance on the Use of Face Coverings. Director stated that staff will be required to wear face coverings effective immediately instead of face shields.
