32 | The backyard was fenced entirely with age-appropriate playthings and was free from any hazards or debris that could pose a risk to the children in care. An artificial turf is underneath the play structure to prevent accidental falls.
During the inspection, the LPA observed that playpens were completely free of toys, blankets, or pillows. The padding and mattress used in the playpen were specifically designed to fit its dimensions. In addition, the Licensee ensures infant safety with 15-minute napping checks, which were documented and provided to the LPA for review during the inspection.
The licensee and helpers have maintained complete records and have met all the necessary licensing requirements, including completing required immunizations, mandated reporter training, and maintaining a valid Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification. All the required posting documentation, such as the facility license, Notification of Parental Rights, and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, have been placed in a prominent area for parents or representatives to review. According to the licensee, regular fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least once every six months.
The records of all the children who were present were reviewed. The licensee maintains accurate records for each child, including vaccination records, parental rights forms, and complete emergency information. These emergency documents contain information such as the child's full name, phone number, and the location of a parent or authorized person who may be contacted in an emergency. The records also contain the name and phone number of the child's doctor and the parent's permission for the licensee to consent to emergency medical care if needed.
During the inspection, LPA reviewed Forms/Records to Keep in Your Family Child Care Homes, children's forms/records, and personnel forms/documents with the Licensee. In addition, license capacity and limitations were also reviewed with the licensee.
