Non-compliance follow-up·April 10, 2025

On 4/10/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Thompson conducted an unannounced Case Management to ensure that the facility is staying within compliance of Title 22 regulations. LPA toured the facility and met with Director Ashley Neitzke. The floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. Census was taken in each individual classroom. LPA observed a total of 17 preschool age children with four staff. The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staff-to-child ratios. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review showed that all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. During the inspection of the indoor activity space, LPA did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, or hazardous items). There is drinking water available indoors for children in care. Children also bring their water bottles from home. The children's bathrooms are clean and sanitary. Children nap on cots if they choose to sleep, and bedding is stored individually and is taken home weekly. The outdoor activity space was inspected for compliance. The playground was enclosed by a fence at least four feet in height. Drinking water in the outdoor activity space is by sports bottles. The outdoor equipment and toys were in good repair and free of sharp edges. There are no bodies of water present at the facility. (continue to page 2) Page 2 LPA reviewed files for five staff present during the inspection. Health screening and immunization records as required were reviewed. Beginning September 1, 2016, Health and Safety (H&S) 1596.7995 states, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a day-care center if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of immunization against pertussis, measles for 5 staff were reviewed and within compliance. Beginning March 31, 2018, H&S Code 1596.8662 requires all directors and employees to complete mandated reporting training, and to renew the training every two years. Director present possesses current American Heart Association approved child CPR/First Aid certifications, which expires 8/19/2025. Children's records were reviewed, and there was a separate, complete, and current record for each child. A random sample of five children's files were reviewed for documentation of the child’s name, address, and telephone number of the child’s authorized representative and of relatives or others that can assume responsibility for the child if the authorized representative cannot be reached when necessary (LIC 700) and a medical assessment. In the areas reviewed the children’s files were found to be in full compliance. Sign in/out procedure was reviewed for compliance. The facility currently uses SproutAbout. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day. Licensee [or 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. In the areas that were evaluated, no deficiencies were observed of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 at the time of the visit. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Ashley Neitzke. End of Report.
