The parents provide their children with snacks and lunch each day. LPA observed areas where they have refrigerators those areas are clean and free of evidence of rodents. Food is protected from contamination and, per staff, contaminated food is discarded immediately. Food/beverages capable of rapid spoiling are properly stored. All storage containers for solid waste have tight fitting covers that are in good repair.
The outdoor areas have climbing structures with cushioning underneath to absorb children's falls and plenty of trees and canopies that provides shade to children while at play. The staff brings the children's water bottles and cups to the playground to keep the children hydrated. The play equipment is age appropriate and in good repair. The outdoor play area is fully fenced and free of defects and dangerous condition.
LPA checked the staff bathroom around 1:15 PM, and was told by the representative it was separate from the children’s bathroom. The staff bathroom is located in the main office building and also in the infant and preschool buildings. All sinks and faucets are in safe and sanitary operating condition and paper towels and soap are available to the children.
California Law requires Child Care Centers licensees to report unusual incidents or injuries to children in care to child's parents and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624). Incidents must be reported within 24 hours by phone, fax, or electronic mail. The facility representative was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training ("General" and "Child Care Providers") is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years by visiting www.mandatedreporterca.com.
