25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with Co-Licensees Rachel Torres and Marta Torres for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. At 12:45pm, LPA observed a total census of 8 preschool children supervised by the two co-licensees.
Operating hours are 8:00am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, year round.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Care is provided towards the back of the property in a building separate from the main house. Off limit areas include the entire main house. 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. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home and LPA did not observe bodies of water at the facility. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. There is neither a fireplace nor stars in the facility. 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 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 and AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for both co-licensees.
