A Facility Personnel Report Summary review showed that all facility, staff, or other individuals who require background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. CHILDREN RECORDS: Per CCR 101221 Child's Records (a) A separate, complete and current record for each child is maintained in the childcare center.

Based on the director’s records and statements, S3 is an aide and began work at the facility on 4/1/24 . During today’s visit S3 was not present at the facility.

A Type B was issued. ROSTER: The LPA observed C1 was not included in the roster. The licensee stated the child was dropped off at school on 11/14/24, which means the child was in attendance in the childcare center before being taken to school.
