Parents may also provide meals from home. Children are supervised at all times to reduce the risk of allergen exposure. Menus are posted at least one week in advance for review by authorized representatives.
Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. At least one staff member trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present during operating hours and offsite activities. The name of the director or designated fully-qualified teacher has been reported to the Department.
All children are under visual supervision at all times. The facility meets teacher-child ratios. A sample of children’s files reviewed contained complete contact and medical information. Staff files reviewed included health screenings, immunization records (influenza, pertussis, measles), and current mandated reporter training documentation.
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 discussed Reporting Requirements as outlined in the regulations (Section 101212).
Director Charlene Noland 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 an existing one, prior to initial presence in the facility. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days, or 30 days for repeat violations, 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 drinking and food preparation water for lead before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. For licenses issued 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 these directives. Director Charlene Noland was referred to the Department’s lead testing website: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
