25 | On 01/28/21, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessika Thompson conducted a virtual Case Management inspection with Licensee Kristian Watson. The purpose of this inspection was to discuss criminal background clearance requirements for family child care facilities.
Information was recently provided to the Department regarding the possibility of an uncleared individual's presence at the family child care home during day-care hours. According to Licensee, she hired Adult #1 in March of 2019 to run errands for her outside of the family child care home. Licensee indicated that Adult #1 was never present in her home during operating hours. Licensee stated she ceased employment of Adult #1 in December of 2020.
LPA advised Licensee that prior to working, residing, or volunteering in a licensed facility, all individuals subject to a criminal record review must obtain criminal record clearance. Licensee maintained that Adult #1 never assisted in providing care at the family child care home, nor was Adult #1 present during operating hours. Additionally, according to Licensee, Adult #1 never worked in the facility as her primary duties were done outside of family child care home. LPA reviewed criminal background requirements and exemption criteria with Licensee. Licensee understands that she must obtain criminal record clearance for any employee that works within her family child care home prior to employment.
Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, no deficiency was cited. |
