The home has a partially fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. The backyard has a stairway that leads to an upper yard that is off-limits. There is a safety gate at the bottom of the stairs but the side rails are open. There is a screen covering the sides of the lower portion of the side-rail, but it needs to go up all the way so children can’t climb up the hill and through the side rails of the stairs. A portion of the upper fence that separates the yard is open on one end where some large plants are growing. This open area needs to be fenced off so that it is inaccessible to children that may climb up the yard and get into the off-limits area.

The new provider packet was reviewed with the applicant including information on child abuse reporting and unusual incidents, children’s records, immunizations, adults living or working in the home and related civil penalties, SIDS/Safe Sleep Regulations, Incidental Medical Services, and the YMCA Resource Center. Applicant was reminded that corporal punishment, smoking, walkers, exersaucers, jumpers and bouncy seats are not allowed in day care. All equipment that is used should be used only as intended by the manufacturer. LPA and Licensee discussed Shaken Baby Syndrome and California Megan's Law and LPA provided: www.meganslaw.ca.gov.
