LPA met with Taylor Brown, Site Supervisor of the CCC, and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA toured the entirety of the the CCC (interior and exterior). The CCC uses one classroom (Classroom 805), a set of bathrooms, and one playground. The CCC is on the grounds of Santa Margarita Elementary School. The CCC operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 11:20 AM and from 11:40 AM until 6:00 PM. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 4 children in care. Besides the Site Supervisor, LPA observed 4 additional staff members. Of those 4, three staff members are cleared and associated. LPA also observed the Area Manager, Dawn Martin. The classroom of the CCC is clean and orderly. The classroom has age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. The classroom contains a number of closets and storage spaces all of which contain items, equipment, and other related objects for children in care. As mentioned prior, there is a set of bathrooms that are available for children to use. The bathrooms are a distance from the classroom near the outdoor playground area. Both bathrooms possess an adequate numbers of toilets and sinks for children in care. There are 3 sinks in each bathroom. In the girls bathroom, there are 3 toilets and in the boys bathroom, there are 2 urinals and 2 toilets. The bathrooms were found to be clean, orderly, and rid of any hazardous items for children in care. At the CCC, one snack is provided for children in care. Filtered water is provided by the CCC via a water dispenser. Children bring reusable water bottles from home to drink with with and disposable cups are available. CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). Through interview and record review, LPA confirmed that lead testing is valid through June of 2028. (CONT.
