25 | At 9:25am on 11/17/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with Licensee Karen Rohde for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Licensee states no other adults are present in the home today except their two assistants. At 9:25am, LPA observed a total census of 12 children, consisting of 8 preschool children and 4 infants.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include Master bedroom, backyard (except pool area), upstairs bedrooms, garage, kitchen, living room and office/laundry. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. All toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. There is a pool on the property which is properly barricaded with a 5 ft fence that does not obstruct view and features a self-latching gate that opens outward. There is a pond on the property which is kept inaccessible in accordance to conditions listed in the waiver on file. Firearm weapons in the home are stored in a locked safe, separately from locked ammunition, as required by regulation. Stairs are properly barricaded to prevent access to children. There are no fireplaces in the licensed area. Outdoor play space is fenced.
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.
LPA reviewed 12 children’s files and observed them to be complete. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 3/2024, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the Licensee and expires 11/2025. (Report continues LIC809-C)
