25 | On 5/6/19 at 3:45pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the home for an unannounced random inspection. The licensee's fingerprint cleared assistant A. Quintal Cooper, 3 infants and 4 preschool age children, and the licensee's school age child were also present.
At 3:50pm, LPA toured the areas of the home used for the child care, with the licensee. The home is a single story home, which is neat and clean with heating and ventilation for the safety and comfort of children in care. The on limit areas include the family room, living room, kitchen, bathroom on the right side of the hallway, the two bedrooms at the end of the hallway, and the laundry room. The off limit areas are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision. The isolation area is the living room, away from other children in care. The outdoor play area is the fenced backyard, which LPA observed to be free from defects or dangerous conditions. LPA observed an ample supply of toys and activities, which are age appropriate and in good condition, available for children. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, hazardous items or toxins accessible today. The home has a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, working combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector, telephone and first aid kit. The heaters are covered with a material that does not get hot to the touch, and the fireplace is gated to prevent access by children. LPA verified that the firearm and ammunition are stored in an off limit area of the home, and locked and stored separately. At 4pm, LPA reviewed 3 children's files, the assistant's file and the facility roster. A copy of the roster was obtained. The licensee has liability insurance thru her homeowner's insurance. Both the licensee and her assistant have current CPR/first aid certificates that expire on 2/23/21. LPA observed the interaction between adults and children.
Licensee was encouraged to frequently visit our website at www.ccld.ca.gov for licensing regulations and updates, and to sign up to receive quarterly updates by email by sending a request to ChildCareAdvocatesProgram@dss.ca.gov. The Licensee was given a copy of A Child Care Provider's Guide to Safe Sleep pamphlet and LPA discussed safe sleep practices and policy. continued on 809C |
