25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Licensee Michelle Jones for an unannounced one year required inspection of her family child care home. All adults who live or work in the home have obtained a criminal record clearance. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7 AM-5:30 PM and the annual fees are current. There were ten children present at the time of inspection with the Licensee and an assistant. Licensee understands that when no assistant is present, she must revert back to a small license capacity.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off limit areas include: Third floor, all rooms and bathrooms on second floor, and garage. LPA observed a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and a combined functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector that meets regulations. LPA observed a first aid kit, current children's roster, and fire drill log with the last drill conducted in February 2020. LPA observed all the required Licensing documentation was posted including Parent's Rights, Emergency Disaster Plan, facility sketch, and the license. Knives, medications, and chemicals were all stored inaccessible to children. Licensee stated there are no firearms in the home. LPA observed the pool was fenced and gated according to regulations.
LPA observed a file for the Licensee and her assistant which contained the required Licensing documents, proof of immunizations, and the Mandated Reporter certification. LPA advised that this training must be completed every two years. The website for the training is Mandatedreporterca.com. The Licensee and assistant both have a valid CPR/First Aid certificate which expires November 2021. LPA observed that all of the required documentation was present in each child's file. LPA advised that the public health form (CDPH286) for children's immunization record has changed and will be required for newly enrolled children.
