At 9:40am on 3/23/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with Licensee Rachaiel McKnight for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Upon arrival at 9:40am, licensee was only adult in the home with a census of 12 children, composed of nine preschool children and three infants, one of which was under 12 months. Her assistant arrived approximately twenty minutes into the inspection, explaining that she was delayed by an accident she witnessed, for which she provided a witness statement.

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 kitchen, upstairs bathrooms, bedrooms, garage, and front yard. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPAs observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home, and LPA did not observe any bodies of water. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Both fireplace and stairs are properly barricaded to prevent access to children. Outdoor play space is fenced.

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

LPA reviewed 12 children’s files and 2 employee files which were observed 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 5/2023, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the Licensee and expires 3/2025.

Licensee stated she places infant children on their backs when they are napping. LPA discussed infant sleep plan (LIC 9227) requirement with Licensee, and 15-minute observation checks of napping infants were observed.
