32 | The facility is operating within the capacity and limitations specified on its license. At least one staff member trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present during operating hours and offsite activities. The name of the center director or a fully-qualified designee has been reported to the Department. Children are under continuous visual supervision by staff, and teacher-child ratios are being met.
LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files, which included complete contact information for authorized representatives and individuals who may assume responsibility for the child, as well as medical assessments. Infant files included Infant Needs and Services Plans and Individual Infant Sleeping Plans. Staff files reviewed contained health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, and current documentation of completed Mandated Reporter Training. Staff caring for infants meet the required educational qualifications.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website: www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates.
LPA reviewed Reporting Requirements as outlined in Section 101212 of the regulations.
Director Amanda Tuller was reminded that all adults 18 and older, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer an existing clearance/exemption, before being present at the facility. A civil penalty of $100.00 per day for up to 5 days, or up to 30 days for repeat violations, will be assessed for noncompliance.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370 requires all licensed Child Care Centers built before January 1, 2010, to test drinking and food preparation water for lead contamination by January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Centers licensed after July 1, 2022, must test water within 180 days of licensure per Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that lead testing was completed in accordance with these directives. Director Amanda Tuller was referred to the Department’s lead testing webpage: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
LPA discussed Safe Sleep Regulations and referred Director Amanda Tuller to the Safe Sleep webpage: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep. LPA also emphasized the importance of checking for recalled infant products on the CPSC website: https://www.cpsc.gov, and recommended registering infant devices to receive recall notifications.
