FILE REVIEW: Children, Licensees, Assistant files were reviewed. Licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training is not current (expired 2021). Licensee's son/assistant ANDRE' ALVAREZ and adult brother VICTOR MONJARAZ have been living in the home, but do have complete association to the license. Their status is "in-process". LPAs consulted with Licensing Office and asked them to get re-fingerprinted. CPR/First Aid is current (expires 9/2024).

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

The supervision of children was discussed, and Licensee understands that she must be present in the home during 80% of the operating hours and ensure children are supervised at all times. If no Assistant is present at a Large Family Child Care Home, then the licensee shall comply with the capacity requirements for a Small Family Child Care Home.

Licensee was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org site, a consumer education website that helps families obtain childcare by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.

On 11/29/23 California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility addresses. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ.
