What Happened
LPA conducted an unannounced annual required inspection with the licensee and assistants present, with Spanish interpretation provided. The home was toured inside and out, and the visit confirmed overall safety systems, children’s files, and supervision practices, while noting the licensee’s mandated reporter training was expired.
Observations
- Licensee's Mandated Reporter Training certification was expired.
- Licensee's pediatric CPR/First Aid was current and set to expire on 2023-04-09.
- Children's files were complete with required emergency information.
- All adults who reside or work in the home had criminal record clearance or exemption.
- Infant sleeping plans were in file and sleeping checks were discussed.
Inspector Focus
Citations Issued
On or before March 30, 2018, a person who, on January 1, 2018, is a licensed child care provider, administrator, or employee of a licensed child day care facility shall complete the mandated reporter training...and shall complete renewal mandated reporter training every two years following the date on which he or she completed the initial mandated reporter training. This requirement was not met, as during today's inspection LPA found that the licensee's Child Abuse Mandated Reporter certification is expired. This poses a potential risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.
