The records review revealed that the facility has complete records of each child, including immunizations, admission agreements, emergency contact information, and personal rights. Staff records indicate that all staff and individuals requiring caregiver background checks have received clearances or exemptions for criminal records and child abuse index. Both the director and a staff member have maintained up-to-date immunizations and mandated reporter training. The director's Pediatric First Aid CPR is valid until 3/2026. The director and staff also have the required educational qualifications in Early Childhood Education (ECE) units. The Director mentioned that the Center conducts fire and earthquake drills at least once every six months, with the last being conducted on 8/18/2024.
The 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.
