25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer Velasco met with Facility Representative, Licensee Michelle Jones (Licensee), for an unannounced inspection. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Facilities hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in the areas accessible to children. Off limit areas include: all rooms and bathrooms on second and third floors, (gated) stairs, combination locked shed, pool area, and garage. Licensee understands that children may never enter off-limits areas. LPA observed a working telephone, functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a 2A10BC fire extinguisher within the home. LPA observed the home was safe, orderly, and free of hazards. LPA observed a variety of age-appropriate toys. Licensee has fenced the backyard pool in compliance with regulations. LPA observed firearms are inaccessible and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately and inaccessible to children in care. Licensee understands that if there are any poisons in the home, all poisons must be locked with a key lock or combination lock. LPA observed all required postings, a children's roster and fire drill log. LPA reviewed records of children’s files and staff files, all of which contained the required documentation. Licensee has current EMSA-approved pediatric CPR/First Aid and Mandated Reporter certifications. Licensee understands both CPR and Mandated Reporter training must be completed every two years.
LPA reviewed with Licensee the safe sleep regulations and the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed Licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
