Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Giselle Lucero conducted an on site inspection for the purpose of an Annual Random. This childcare center is located at Santa Ana Unified School District Pio Pico Elementary School.
LPA and Early Learning Specialist Laura Barnett toured the facility inside and outside. The floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. Census was taken in each individual classroom. LPA observed a total of 18 preschool age children with 6 staff. Facility hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.

A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. (The staff are exempt of this requirement due to staff being employed by Santa Ana School District and they are fingerprint cleared under the School District).

During the inspection of the indoor activity space, LPA did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications or hazardous items). There are water fountains located in the classroom, Room #1 has been lead tested and has no lead exceedances. Room #K3 was recently added to the license and the facility is in the process of testing the water fountain for lead in room K3. A “do not drink” sign was observed above the water fountain. Children also bring their water bottles from home. The children's bathrooms are clean and sanitary. Children nap on cots if they choose to sleep, and bedding is stored individually and is taken home weekly to be washed by parents.

Children's records were reviewed, and there was a separate, complete and current record for each child. A random sample of 5 children's files were reviewed for documentation of the child’s name, address, and telephone number of the child’s authorized representative and of relatives or others that can assume responsibility for the child if the authorized representative cannot be reached when necessary (LIC 700) and a medical assessment. In the areas reviewed the children’s files were found to be in full compliance. Sign in/out procedure was reviewed for compliance. The facility currently uses an app called Care Connect. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual - Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers Sections 101173 and 101226. 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)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm

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).
