32 | The handout, "A Child Care Provider's Guide to Safe Sleep" was provided and discussed, along with the requirements for an Individual Infant Sleep Plan. Licensee states that infants sleep on their backs. There is no children with a Sleeping Plan with Section C in place. Licensee can visually observe when a child awakens from a nap. Cribs or play yards must not hinder the entrance or exit to and from the sleeping space. Mattresses must be firm, sized appropriately, and be covered with a tightly fitted sheet, with no objects hanging above or attached. Sheets must be replaced when soiled or wet.
LPA reviewed personnel, facility, and children's records at 1:51 p.m.
Last disaster drill completed on 12/13/22. Facility roster was current. Required postings are visible for public review. Children's files are complete.
All individuals subject to a criminal record review pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871 shall obtain a California clearance or criminal record exemption prior to working, residing or volunteering in a licensed facility.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Licensee was also reminded of the Department's Inspection authority, and the need to comply when notified that termination of an employee is necessary.
Also discussed with the licensee: supervision of children at all times; children are not to be left in parked vehicles; car seats and high chairs; Unusual Incident Reporting; smoking; advertisements; changes in on-limit areas; construction work at facility; paying fees on-line; ill children in home are to be separated immediately from the other children, and the Guardian background check process.
A qualified assistant must be physically present whenever 9 or more children are in care. When an assistant is not present, the home reverts back to small family child care ratios.
