25 | Covid-19 State of Emergency
On January 20, 2021 at 1:40 p.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced case management inspection via Facetime in reference to concerns that were reported to Community Care Licensing. LPA met with Licensee Gredna Packer and proceeded to tour the facility. There were six children present, two of which were under 24 months. Appropriate ratio/capacity were observed. The purpose of the inspection is to discuss and review the following concerns:
- The licensee is not adhering to Covid-19 requirements, specifically the licensee does not wear a mask/facial covering when providing care and supervision to children.
- The licensee allowed a parent to play with the children in the facility without a mask.
- The licensee is out of ratio by taking care of too many infants at one time.
The applicant received a virtual Covid-19 technical assistance visit on 10/9/20. During today’s inspection LPA discussed Covid-19 highlights and advised the licensee that the County of San Diego has instituted a mask/facial covering mandate for child care providers. The licensee states that when the children are napping or outdoors she may not wear mask/facial covering. The licensee understands she could be subject to a monetary fine if she fails to adhere to the mandate and wear a facial covering/mask when children are in care. The licensee is also aware that it is recommended that children over the age of two wear a mask/facial covering while in care. The licensee states that parents drop their children off at the front door and they are required to wear masks. LPA provided additional Covid-19 resources to the Licensee. The licensee states that she will update her Covid-19 protocol and provide her families with a written copy of the information. During todays inspection the licensee was operating with the appropriate ratio. LPA reviewed ratio requirements for both a small and large family child care home and provided her with ratio charts. |
