On August 4, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacey Williams met with Licensee, Debra Meleen for an unannounced annual inspection. There were no children present in the home during the inspection. All individuals subject to criminal record review have obtained 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.

LPA toured areas of the home accessible to the children. The off-limit areas of the home were inaccessible (entire upstairs). There is an in-ground pool with a 5-foot metal fence surrounding the pool. The pool fence gate opens away from the pool and self-closes and self-latches.


LPA observed the following licensing postings: family childcare license, a Parents' Rights Poster, facility sketch, and the Emergency Disaster Plan.

LPA conducted file reviews during today’s inspection. LPA observed current CPR/First Aid certificate which expires 7/2025. LPA observed current completion of AB1207 Mandated Reporter training. LPA provided Licensee with website: http://childcare.mandatedreporterca.com/ and reminded the licensee that the training must be completed once every two years. LPA observed records of immunizations. LPA reviewed the client roster.

LPA observed that hazardous items: detergents, cleaning compounds, medication, sharp utensils, and other items that could pose a danger to children in care, are properly stored out of children's reach.
