32 | LPA observed the backyard and surrounding fence through a window. Due to rain, LPA was unable to walk the backyard. L1 stated that the fence is stable and was recently repaired. LPA observed several play structures in the back yard that appeared to be in working condition and are cushioned by grass. L1 stated there are no weapons in the home. L1 stated that she has 1 dog and 3 cats.
LPA discussed Mandated Reporter Training with the L1. Health and Safety Code 1596.8662 requires that all licensed providers, applicants, directors, and employees complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and renew their training every 2 years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. This training requirement may be met by using the Department’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) online training modules. The OCAP modules are free of cost and available at http://www.mandatedreporterca.com/. The training is currently provided in English and Spanish. L1 has a current Mandated Reporter Training Certificate which will expire on 03/24/2024. Current Pediatric CPR and First Aid training was also verified by LPA and expires on 08/07/2023.
LPA discussed the Safe Sleep Regulations with L1 and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed L1 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 that s/he register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on purchased equipment.
Licensee does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS); however, the IMS policy was discussed with L1, and she was encouraged to create an IMS plan to provide epipen services. For IMS information, see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing 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.
