32 | CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. Testing is valid until November of 2027.
LPA observed daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently near one of the classroom doors. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed through paper. Through record review, LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 1/29/26. Site Supervisor informed LPA that disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months.
In the Classroom, a carbon monoxide detector was tested at 10:11 AM and was found to be operational. The CCC's smoke detector was not tested by the LPA as the CCC's smoke detectors are integrated into the building's fire detection systems. LPA was informed the building's fire detection systems are regularly tested and monitored by personnel. Sharps are stored in a locked space near the teacher's desk. Cleaning supplies are stored beneath a kitchen sink in a locked cabinet. There are no medications stored on site as no children currently require medication. LPA viewed a First Aid Kit in the CCC. The First Aid Kits contained appropriate supplies.
As mentioned prior, the CCC has access to an outdoor play yard. The outside playground area is enclosed by chain linked fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates in the yard are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose, or pointed objects. The play structures in the outdoor playground areas have adequate cushioning to absorb falls (playground foam). The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The area is made up of both concrete pavement, blacktop, sand, and playground foam. Shade is provided by building overhangs, trees, and a large sun sail in the yard. LPA observed a few wooden sheds and storage compartment in the yard. Each structure was locked and possesses outdoor play equipment. LPA also observed a sizable sandbox in the yard. LPA reminded the Site Supervisor of active supervision of children during outdoor play and that outdoor areas should be inspected prior to letting children outside.
A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. LPA observed and confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition on site. (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
