of staff to student will be very low. Only 1 teacher to 6.5 students which is considered very good. Our staff members meet or exceed the education and experience requirements set forth in the Health and Safety Code. We must also comply with the other hiring requirements of the Community Care Licensing Department. Namely: a. All our staff, including the director must have a "live scan" fingerprint criminal background check completed by either Trustline or the Care Giver Background Check Bureau prior to employment. b. They must also be cleared through the company above using the Child Abuse Index. c. They must be medically healthy and have a current TB test prior to employment. d. They must pass a 15 hour child care center cpr, first aid and health and safety course. 5. In addition to the hiring process the State inspects our facility to make sure it is safe and in compliance with state standards. a. We must maintain proper first aid supplies. b. We must have a fire clearance prior to opening our facility. c. We must have enough space indoors for our children to enjoy their stay safely. d. We must have a place to play where children receive fresh air and sunlight. i. In our case since we do not have an outside play yard fenced off by a Oft fence, the state has concluded that because our Academy is so large and has a roll up door allowing plenty of fresh air and sunshine into the academy and we have ample outside play equipment within our academy that our academy meets the requirement for the outside play area. e. We have also taken the following actions that are not required by state law to further ensure the safety of both our children and staff. i. We have a 3 million dollar specialized martial arts liability insurance policy. ii. We will install and maintain recorded video surveillance of the interior areas of our site with the exception of the rooms used for changing and the bathrooms. iii. We will install a "screamer" alarm on our back door to ensure no student leaves the premises without cause.
