A Required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. A review of staff records on 08/11/2022 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are currently three adults living in the home. 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.

During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. During the visit, the Licensee (LS) was supervising four children (C1-C4) and the facility was operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 5:30am - 6:00pm, Mon–Fri. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are one bedroom, one bathroom, garage and the lower level of the home, and were made inaccessible by door latch and a door locking mechanism.

The staircase in the hallway was barricaded by a latched door. There is a working telephone in the home. There is a functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; and a fully charged fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. LPA did not observe any poison(s). There were no firearm(s) or other dangerous weapons stored on site. The children’s outdoor play area is on a wooden outdoor patio deck which had several loose posts that required fortification. Licensee furnished a current AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training certificate and required Immunization Record. LPA requested to review four children's (C1-C4) records at 10:04am, however; the Licensee only furnished records for C1-C3. C1's record was missing Immunization Record (IR), transcribed CDPH 286 & LIC 9227, while C2 & C3 records were missing IR and transcribed CDPH 286. (Continue to LIC 809-C)
