25 | At 9:55am on 11/21/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Matthew Gallo and Mandie Goodwin met with licensee Brenda Frey for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. Today's total census included 8 children consisting of 6 preschool children and 2 infants. Licensee states no others were present in the home today except for their two adult assistants.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. No rooms in the home are off-limits. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children, and licensee acknowledges that any poisons must be stored under key or combination lock. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home. LPA observed a hot tub spa properly made inaccessible according to regulations with a locked hard cover. There is neither a fireplace nor stairs in the home. 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 8 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 11/2025, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the licensee and 2/2026. Employees files were reviewed and also observed to be complete.
