LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed that files were complete with emergency contact information and medical assessments. A sample of staff files was reviewed and contained health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, as well as current documentation of completed mandated reporter training.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website, www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates.
LPA reviewed Reporting Requirements as outlined in regulations (Section 101212).
Supervisor Charlotte Miranda was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers (except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871), 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water used for drinking and food preparation for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. For child care centers licensed after July 1, 2022, testing must occur within 180 days of licensure per Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that lead testing was completed per the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA referred Supervisor Charlotte Miranda to the Department’s website for lead information: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information, see PIN 22-02-CCP. When IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation including IMS must be submitted to the Department.
