32 | According to the licensee, no enrolled infants under two years old use cribs or playpens. The youngest infant is nearly two years old. Currently, all the enrolled children are napping on mats/cots. LPA reviewed safe sleep regulation for infants with the provider and emphasized the importance of ensuring tightly fitted bedsheets to prevent accidental suffocation or choking for future infants requiring cribs. Additionally, it was emphasized that no toys, blankets, or pillows should be placed inside cribs while infants are napping.
During the visit, LPA reviewed the records for both children and personnel. The licensee consistently keeps accurate records for each child, including vaccination records, parental rights forms, and complete emergency information. Both the licensee and helpers have maintained records of all essential licensing requirements, such as necessary immunizations, valid Pediatric First Aid CPR certifications, and mandated reporter training.
All the required posting documentation, such as the facility license, Notification of Parental Rights, and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, have been placed in a prominent area for parents or representatives to review. According to the licensee, regular fire and earthquake drills are conducted monthly, with the most recent drills completed on 8//202024.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, 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 licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
