Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marie Rodriguez conducted an annual continuation inspection. LPA met with Director Sarah Jen and explained purpose of inspection. Present in the infant program are the Director, one teacher, two teacher's assistants, and 14 infants. School is operating within capacity requirements and in compliance with child to staff ratio. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 6:00pm.

Four staff records were reviewed. Staff S2 does not have the infant/toddler class units required to be a qualified infant teacher. Staff S3 and S4 have a criminal record clearance but are not associated to this license. They are associated under Empire Preschool SM license #414004883. Staff S4 has an incomplete personnel record and does not have a mandated reporter training certificate on file.

Facility representative was reminded about Mandated Reporter training available on CCLD website. Training must be completed every 2 years by all staff hired. Training can be taken online at www.mandatedreporterca.com. If training is not available in native language, a statement can be written stating exemption until the translation is available.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual – Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers Sections 101173 and 101226. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.
