25 | An inspection was conducted at the facility by LPA, Dean Valencia. A review of staff records indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are presently 3 adults living in the home.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured and the licensee was not operating within the licensed capacity nor a compliant ratio. There were 7 infants in care, and 2 preschool age children in care during the inspection, along with the licensee, licensee's husband and an assistant. This places the facility over its licensed capacity of 8, and out of ratio with too many infants. The ratio violation is cited on a complaint investigation report, being done concurrently with today's annual inspection. Operating hours are 7am to 6pm, Mon–Fri. The floor plan was verified. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of baby gates and door knob covers. The staircase is off limits. The licensee's pediatric CPR/First Aid certification is current, which expires 3/2020. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children. Poisonous items are not stored on site, and none were observed during today's inspection. There is a working carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home. The licensee did not have a current roster of children in care. The facility has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months. The licensee stated there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the home and none were observed during today's visit. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area, and it is completely fenced. The outdoor play area is free from hazards. There are no bodies of water on the premises. Children's records were reviewed, and found to be missing some documentation. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual - Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Family Child Care Homes Section 102417.
