25 | On 10/21/22 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Pacheco arrived at the Family Child Care Home (FCCH) to conduct an unannounced Case Management Inspection. LPA met with Licensee, Yuan-Huei Williams, toured the facility and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection was to follow up on two unusual incidents that were reported to the Fresno Child Care Regional Office on 10/6/22. On 10/6/22 Licensee self-reported that she was holding Child #1 in her right arm when she tripped over her own feet and fell down. Child #1's head hit the floor but did not sustain a serious injury. Licensee put ice on Child #1's head and calmed them down. Licensee contacted Child #1's authorized representative who came to the FCCH to pick them up. Child #1 was taken to their doctor as a precaution to be examined. Child #1 was not diagnosed with any injury and returned to care the same day. LPA observed the area where the incident took place. LPA observed the area to be covered with rubber cushioning. The floor appeared to be in good condition and no tripping hazards were observed.
On 10/6/22 Licensee also reported that five day care children were diagnosed with Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD). Licensee was informed of Child #1's HFMD diagnosis on 9/29/22. Licensee closed her facility on 9/30/22 for deep cleaning and sanitizing. All of the children's equipment was washed and disinfected. Authorized representatives of the other four children who were diagnosed with HFMD informed Licensee on 10/1/22, 10/2/22, 10/3/22 and 10/4/22. The four other children had not attended the FCCH since 9/29/22 or earlier. Licensee notified all parents of the HFMD outbreak.
These appear to be isolated incidents and Licensee took appropriate measures to address each unusual incident, following appropriate policies, regulations and reporting requirements.
Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiency is being cited. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee, Yuan-Huei Williams. This report shall be made available to the public upon request. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. |
