All adult assistants have current CPR which was also submitted via e-mail to the department.

Licensee understands all assistants must have a criminal record clearance before working within the family childcare home. LPA did not observe any concerns during today's visit. LPA advised licensee to please let the department know when the facility will be closed, as licensee was not officially offering childcare during today's visit due to family plans. LPA Perez was able to clear the violations for the licensee during the visit, based on information obtained.
