The licensee DOES have a current roster of children in care. Children’s records for children present during LPA’s inspection were reviewed for a copy of the emergency information card that contains all the information specified by regulation (LIC 700) and found to be in compliance.) LPA observed no infants from 0-12 months.

The licensee and assistant’s Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification expired 08/22/2022. Beginning September 1, 2016, Health and Safety (H&S) 1597.622 states, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a family day care home if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of immunization against pertussis, measles for licensee were reviewed and within compliance.


Beginning March 31, 2018, H&S Code 1596.8662 requires all licensed providers and employees to complete mandated reporting training, and to renew the training every two years. The licensee is exempt from this requirement due to the training not being available in (SPECIFY LANGUAGE, no longer applies to SPANISH SPEAKERS)
