COVID-19 check·March 24, 2022

On 3/24/22 @ 10:00 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit due to an outbreak of Covid-19 earlier this year. During this visit, current COVID guidance was reviewed and provided to include: Provider Information Notice (PIN) 21-10, Child Care Decision Trees for Exposures and Positives and Face Coverings Q&A. Facility can access current information at the following link (hard copy was provided today): https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Child-Care-Guidance.aspx Per Director COVID protocols have been implemented to include but not limited to temperature checks and head to toe check at the door and throughout the day. If a child becomes ill, they are sent home for a minimum of 3 days. A Covid test is not required upon return but they do have to be asymptomatic. Drop off and pick ups are still outside the school. Masks are optional and some staff and children are choosing to wear masks. The HVAC system filters are changed every three months and classrooms are opening windows to encourage air flow. Any items that a child touches often are limited to that one child and are cleaned or kept for that child alone (i.e. playdoh) to discourage cross-contamination. There is regular communication with parents to ensure that they are reporting any illness to the school, following travel guidelines and the latest decision trees have been provided.
