25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Corral conducted a required Annual Inspection on today’s date. Upon entrance to the Facility, there were 12 children present in care with Licensee and Assistant Itzel Salas providing care and supervision. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on 03/04/2022 indicates all facility staff who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over, 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 Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100 minimum per day and up to $500 maximum per day per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
A tour of the inside and outside of the facility was conducted with Licensee Sonia Carias. Rooms available to children in care were observed to have age appropriate play equipment. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of children gates. The stairs are not barricaded but there are two children gates installed on each side to make staircase inaccessible to children in care. The childcare area consists of the living room and the bedroom which is used for napping. Equipment was found to be in good condition, free of sharp, loose, or pointed edges. Items which could pose a danger to children such as detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications were stored out of the reach of children. Licensee stated Poisons/Hazardous items are not kept on the premises.
The children's bathroom, toilet and hand washing sink were observed to be clean, sanitary and in good repair.
