Upon arrival, LPA observed five children present (one child is licensees biological grand daughter). All adults were fingerprinted and associated to the facility. LPA Ramirez toured and inspected all rooms identified in facility sketch. The facility sketch needs updated information, a blank sketch was provided to the licensee to complete and submit to the department. Hours of operation are from 23 hours, Monday through Sunday.

This is a one story, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with kitchen/dining, living room, den and detached three car garage. There is no pool, spa or other bodies of water on the premises. Licensee, biological 10 year old daughter reside in the home. The home has a fireplace that is barricaded and located in the living room. The main care area is in the living room. The bathroom in the hallway is accessible to children. The remainder of the home is off limits to the children. Licensee has three dogs, one kept in backyard, two are inside the home in a crate. LPAs reminded licensee to have vaccinations for pets and monitor pets around children, pet food must also be kept separate from children's food.

LPA Ramirez observed age appropriate toys, learning materials, games and activities for children in care. All furniture was found in good repair, clean, and without hazards. The kitchen is inaccessible to children in care. The facility is inspected inside and outside for safety, comfort, cleanliness, telephone service, heating and ventilation, inaccessibility to poisons, detergents/cleaning compounds (under sink with latch), and hazardous items (sharp knives in kitchen only) that can pose a danger to children.

Inspection of the outdoor play area is conducted. Per licensee, there are no weapons or firearms of any kind in the facility currently. LPA Ramirez did not observe any weapons. Children nap on mats in the living room. The required fire extinguisher (2A10BC) and smoke detectors are in operable condition.

The facility annual fees are current. Licensee had all the required posted documents: Facility License (LIC 203), Notice of Parent's Rights Poster (PUB 394), Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC 610A), and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC 9148). Children files were found to be complete (see LIC811). LPA observed the fire and earthquake drill log with most recent drill conducted on 7/20/19. No facility roster was observed, this will result in a Type B citation.

The following was discussed with the licensee: Mandatory Forms for the children’s files and provider’s files, Requirements for fire drills, earthquake drills, and documentation for both. The role and responsibilities of being a mandated reporter were discussed. The licensee was advised how to access forms and Regulations for Family Child Care online at www.ccld.ca.gov. Licensee was made aware that it is their responsibility to know the regulations as well as anyone who assists in providing care. The licensee was advised that inaccessibility of hazards must be constantly reassessed depending on the children in care. Licensing must always have the facility’s phone number. If the phone number has changed, licensing must be notified.
There is an effective 24/7 ban on smoking tobacco in a home that is licensed as a family day care home, and in those areas of the family day care home where children are present.

The licensee was informed of the role and responsibilities of being a mandated reporter, renewal required every 2 years for a licensed child care provider, administrator, or employee ( www.mandatedreporterca.com ). Licensee completed training on 2/1/18.

State law prohibits baby walkers, bouncy seats, exer-saucers and any other items that fall into that category. All infants must be placed on their backs when sleeping to prevent S.I.D.S. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The provider is required to wash hands after every diaper change and to never shake a baby to prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome. Only children eating may be in high chairs and that car seats are utilized only for transportation

The licensee was informed that all adults living in or having access to the home are required to have fingerprint clearances with Department of Justice, FBI and Child Abuse Index prior to having contact with children. If the aforementioned is not adhered to, a Civil Penalty of up to $500, per non-cleared adult will be assessed immediately. Please advise your analyst of any person who will be visiting regularly or for longer than one week.
