This requirement is not met as evidenced by,
Based on the interviews and reviewed records that LPA conducted, prior to Child 1 (C1) admission, the licensee was notified by C1’s parent, of C1’s aggressive behaviors, including but not limited to, hitting and biting towards other children in care from C1’s previous childcare providers. The licensee failed to obtain C1’s medical assessment to assess whether the center can provide necessary health-related services to the child. This resulted in C1’s reported multiple biting incidents towards C2 and rmultiple reported aggressive behaviors incidents (hitting) towards staff members.
This poses a potential risk to health, safety or personal rights to children in care.

Recorded plan of correction
LPA Estoesta advised the licensee /director to develop a plan of correction (POC) and the POC submit proof to the Oakland Child Care Regional Office via mail only on or before the POC due date.
LPA and the Director discussed the POC, that it shall describe how it will bring their facility into compliance, and it must be measurable and verifiable. It included but not limited to maintaning incident reports documentation, staff training and meetings. The director stated that she will obtain a written medical assessment as described on section 101220(a), and will develop a written behavior plan.
A behavior plan is a collaborative strategy between parents and teachers to reinforce positive behaviors and manage challenging ones. It identifies the triggers for specific behaviors, outlines proactive classroom accommodations, and ensures consistency between home and school.
LPA recommended to the Director that the licensee can register to the CCLD's Technical Support Program (TSP) which is FREE, voluntary, and a non-enforcement service of Community Care Licensing to assist childcare providers experiencing compliance challenges.
LPA also provided a copy of the CHILD CARE ADVOCATE PROGRAM flyer to the director.
