32 | Capacity and limitations on the license were being maintained. At least one staff member with current CPR and Pediatric First Aid certification was present during care hours and offsite activities. The name of the facility director or designated acting director has been reported to the Department. All children were under visual supervision at all times, and staffing met the required teacher-child ratios.
A sample review of children’s files showed complete records, including emergency contact information, medical assessments, Infant Needs and Services Plans, and Individual Infant Sleeping Plans. Staff files reviewed were complete with health screenings, required immunization records (influenza, pertussis, and measles), current mandated reporter training certificates, and documentation confirming that all infant caregivers met the required educational qualifications.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website (www.ccld.ca.gov) as a resource for forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. Reporting requirements, per Section 101212, were also reviewed. LPA reminded Staff #1 that all adults 18 years or older, including employees and volunteers (with exceptions noted in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871), must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption or transfer an existing clearance prior to being present at the facility. Violations are subject to a civil penalty of $100 per day, up to five days, or up to 30 days for repeat violations.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370 requires licensed child care centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test water used for drinking and food preparation for lead before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Centers licensed after July 1, 2022, must test within 180 days of licensure. LPA verified the facility’s compliance with lead testing requirements under Written Directives section 101700 and referred Staff #1 to the Department’s water testing resource webpage. LPA referred Staff #1 to the Department website for lead: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
Safe sleep regulations were discussed, along with the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage (https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep). LPA advised checking the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website (https://www.cpsc.gov) for recalled infant devices and encouraged registration of all equipment with the CPSC for recall notifications.
