The facility has no pools, spas, or other bodies of water. All cleaning solutions, poisons, and other dangerous chemicals are inaccessible to children. LPA noted that the unused electrical outlets have covers installed. All bathrooms, toilets, and sinks are clean and well-sanitized. All solid waste bins have suitable tight-fitted lids.
The outdoor playground area is in good repair and completely fenced for supervision. The kindergarteners have a separate playing area with climbs, slides, and monkey bar structures. The play structure is age-appropriate and in good condition, with soft rubber cushioning underneath for accidental falls.
LPA reviewed the records of five children and five staff members. The center maintained complete records for the children, including authorized representatives' names, addresses, and phone numbers. Staff members' records indicated that all individuals requiring caregiver background checks had undergone criminal record checks and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Several teachers held valid CPR certificates. However, it was noted that four out of five staff members did not possess up-to-date mandated reporter training certificates, and two out of five staff members lacked their measles, pertussis, and influenza vaccinations.
LPA observed that the facility had posted the required forms. (i.e., License, waivers, Notification of Parent's Rights, and Notification of Personal Rights).
The Assistant Director stated that Fire and Earthquake drills are conducted monthly, typically in conjunction with the Ulloa School drills. The last drills were held on 2/19/2025.
The Assistant Director 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.
