At approximately 9:30am on 6/18/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met facility representative Heather Madison for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. Today's census included 9 infants supervised by 4 staff, and facility representative was reminded never to exceed the condition, limitations, and capacity specified on the license.

Facility hours of operation are 7:30am-5:30pm, Monday-Friday, year round.

LPA toured the building including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. All necessary postings were observed. Director stated there were no poisons or firearms on the premises, and LPA did not observe any bodies of water. All toxic and hazardous items were inaccessible to children. Functional carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector were present. Furniture and equipment were in good condition and age appropriate. The floors were clean throughout the facility. Playground equipment and surfaces were free of loose or sharp parts, and the areas underneath or around climbing equipment were sufficiently cushioned with rubber mats or wood chips. Program provides lunch and AM and PM snacks, and menus were posted in visible sight. The food preparation space was free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Food from home was properly labeled and dated. Storage containers with solid waste had tight-fitting covers. Drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. LPA observed full legal signatures while reviewing the sign in and sign out sheet. Medication was properly stored and inaccessible to children.

Sufficient napping equipment was available, and LPA reminded facility representative that napping infants must have 100% visual supervision at all time. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with facility representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed facility representative of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

LPA reviewed 5 children's files, and observed logs of 15 minute sleep checks to be missing from all 5 files. Facility representative Madison stated they were not aware of the requirement to document sleep checks. Review of staff records confirmed at least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, and that all staff currently employed with the facility have valid AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training certificates.

Facility representative 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.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02- CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

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 then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.

Director was encouraged to the visit the departments website at WWW.CCLD.CA.GOV for information regarding childcare updates, forms, regulations and legislation pertaining child care centers.
