25 | On 7/14/2023 at 12:05pm, a Required-1 Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. Upon entry to the home LPA detected a strong odor of the cat's litter box. At 12:55pm the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising 4 children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The licensee understands that 24 hour care to one child at one time is not allowed. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the three bedrooms, and were made inaccessible by locks. During today's inspection the licensee stated that the children do not have an outdoor play area. A lock has been placed towards the top of the sliding glass door to prevent children from accessing the backyard. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard.
Five children's records were reviewed at 12:30pm. One staff record was reviewed at 1:10pm.
There are currently two adults living in the home. The 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 $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
The following deficiencies were cited: (see LIC 809D): 102417(b) - A strong odor of the cat's littler box was detected in the home.
