Assembly Bill 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018 requires all Child Care Centers that are located in buildings constructed before January 1, 2010 to test their drinking water for lead contamination by January 1, 2023 and every 5 years thereafter. This facility has provided evidence of water testing scheduling. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with contact information for authorized representative and or relatives or others who can assume responsibility for the child. LPA reviewed a sample of staff files and found that 2 of 5 files reviewed were missing proof of child abuse mandated reporter training completion. Additionally, 2 of 5 staff files reviewed were missing proof of immunization records. Menus are posted at least one week in advance where an authorized representative can view them. Director Zuniga was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
