25 | At approximately 10:05am on 10/8/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with facility representative Tyler Ross for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. During the visit, LPA observed a total census of 25 preschool children supervised by 4 staff. The facility hours of operation are 7:30am-5:30pm, Monday-Friday, year round.
LPA toured the building including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. All necessary postings were observed. Facility representative stated there were no poisons or firearms on the premises, and LPA did not observe any bodies of water. All toxic and hazardous items were inaccessible to children. Functional carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector were present. Furniture and equipment were in good condition and floors were clean throughout the facility. Playground equipment and surfaces were free of loose or sharp parts, and the areas underneath or around climbing equipment were sufficiently cushioned with sand. Program provides AM&PM snacks and children bring lunch from home. The food preparation space was free of litter, all food was protected against contamination, and storage containers with solid waste had tight-fitting covers. Drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. The facility uses an electronic sign-in/sign-out system which LPA observed to being used. Medication was properly stored and inaccessible to children. LPA observed sufficient napping equipment.
Six children's records were reviewed and observed to be complete. Review of staff records confirmed at least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, and that all staff currently employed with the facility have valid AB1207 Manded Reporter Training certificates. However, LPA observed that 3 of the 4 staff files did not have signed physician health screenings verifying good health. Criminal record clearances were verified, and facility representative 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.
