32 | Incidental Medical Services (IMS) are not currently being provided. Licensee is aware that an IMS plan is required to be submitted to the licensing office if they provide these services. The following information regarding Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was provided: US Department of Justice toll free ADA Information line at (800) 514-0301(voice) and (800) 514-0383 (TDD) and website link https://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm for Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA.
LPA and Licensee discussed the Community Care Licensing website www.ccld.ca.gov which provides access to Provider Information Notices (PINS), Quarterly Updates, Mandated Reporter Training, Safe Sleep in Child Care, Lead Poisoning Facts, and Licensing Forms and Regulations. LPA provided information regarding Safe Sleep practices for infants, including, but not limited to, placing infants to sleep on their back and placing infants to sleep in only cribs or playpens, which are to be free of any loose articles during sleeping periods.
During today’s inspection, Licensee requested LPA to inspect the downstairs bedroom to list it as an area accessible for day care children to utilize. LPA inspected the bedroom, which consisted of two approved baby cribs and a changing station. The room was deemed safe by LPA and is listed an area accessible to children in care as of today’s date (12/19/2019).
Per California Health and Safety Code and Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies are being cited today. (See 809-D for further). Appeal rights were provided to Andrea Rodriguez.
Deficiencies observed;
Upon entry into the home, Licensee greeted LPA and allowed him into the home. LPA asked Licensee to confirm the number of children in care. Licensee counted 7 children located in the downstairs area of the home. LPA confirmed 7 children were present downstairs. LPA observed a safety gate that was not secured in a manner to prevent children five years of age or younger from accessing the staircase and second story of the home. LPA informed Licensee that he would need to inspect the staircase and upstairs area, due to the safety gate not being secured as required per regulation. Once upstairs, LPA discovered assistant, Olivia Azua, upstairs caring for 3 children, two of them whom were infants. When Licensee was asked why children and assistant were upstairs, Licensee stated she “believed” she was “out of ratio.” The children were located in the Licensee’s master bedroom, which is an area not inspected by the Department and listed as “off-limits.”
End of Deficiencies observed.
