LPA was granted access to the facility by the Facility Representative and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were 35 children (infants) and 10 staff present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed all required postings at the main office entrance for the facility. Hours of operation for the facility are Monday – Friday, 07:00AM-06:00PM . There is an active waiver for electronic sign in/out for parent/child drop off. 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. LPA observed all staff to be background checked and criminal record cleared during today's visit. LPA reviewed sign-in/out sheets and found the definition of relationship to child was inaccurate, stating that it was a teacher or administrator signing out children. However, LPA observed parents full names listed. LPA suggested to facility to review the electronic system to insure all information is accurate. LPA reviewed the facility roster that was in a corporate format and not the LIC9040 document. LPA requested the facility transfer this information to an LIC9040 as document was missing doctor's information and child's home address. The last fire/disaster drill was conducted on 08/21/2024, which is compliant with the six month requirement for facilities. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher which was last serviced 12/13/2023 which is compliant with fire marshal fire regulations.
