Correction Required: A facility person's record shall include acceptable verification of experience, education or training is a transcript or a diploma or a letter signed by a representative of the experiential, educational or training entity.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The provider will make sure that all facility persons has acceptable verification education or training on file. We were not aware that the verification on file was not verified through the acceptable channels, as it was provided by head start from their last center. We have sent the information off to be verified. Regarding the US equivalent evaluation for staff person #1 we submitted everything and received a message stating that staff person #1 needs a transcript to accompany the diploma. Staff person #1 went to the issuing country on the 22nd of July and will be returning with it. Once returned we will submit the transcript for evaluation and send it to OCDEL also once they approve it, before staff person #2 returns to work.
2026-07-10 Renewal 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4) - Comply with CPSL/CPSL information Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4)

Description: Comply with CPSL/CPSL information

Noncompliance Area: During the inspection on 7/10/26 the file for staff person #2 did not include the required attachments to the DHS FBI clearance.

Correction Required: The operator shall comply with the CPSL and with Chapter 3490 (relating to protective services). LACKING REQUIRED HIRING DOCUMENTS: staff Person #2- may not work in a child care position at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Upon learning during the inspection that the attachments were required and missing from this updated clearance, we immediately contacted the appropriate agency and requested a new DHS FBI clearance. Once received, the complete clearance, including all required attachments, was submitted to the Department and placed in the employee's personnel file. Just to note the staff member's recently updated DHS FBI clearance did not include any of the required attachment pages that have historically accompanied these clearances. There were no staples, staple marks, or any other indication that additional pages had ever been attached. Because the clearance clearly stated that the individual was eligible for employment, we believed that no additional attachments were required with this particular clearance. All previous attachments were with all past clearances. Moving forward, Sweet Dreams and Fairy Tales Childcare Center will continue to ensure that all required clearances for staff are current and maintained in each employee's file. In addition, if any future DHS FBI clearances are received without the expected attachment pages, we will immediately contact the issuing agency to determine whether the omission is the result of a policy change or an incomplete clearance and, if necessary, request a corrected copy before allowing the clearance to be accepted as complete.
