25 | On September 1st, 2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Director Heather Cole for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. LPA observed 18 infants supervised by five staff members in two separate rooms.
LPA toured the building including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service, and outdoor play areas. No children in care currently require medications. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Furniture and equipment are in good condition. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts. Infant changing tables have a padded surface that is washable and at least one-inch-thick, and the changing tables have raised sides that are at least three inches high. The floors appeared clean throughout the facility. The food preparation space is free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Storage containers with solid waste have tight-fitting covers. Infants’ bottles were labeled with their names and the date it was provided to the facility. Menus were posted and drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. The facility currently utilizes an electronic sign-in/sign-out system.
Staff and children's records were reviewed. Each child's file contained an emergency card, a medical assessment, and Infant Needs and Services Plan and LIC 9227. At least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification. All staff currently employed with the facility have a criminal record clearance, health screening report, Mandated Reporter training certificates, and documentation of the educational background, training, and/or experience. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises. LPA observed functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
LPA reminded the Assistant Director that the AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training must be renewed once every two years. LPA provided the website for staff to complete the training at http://childcare.mandatedreporterca.com/
