25 | A required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cindy Castro. LPA met with Licensee (L1), Angie Sensouvang. L1 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.
During the inspection the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising one child and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. Children in care will have access to the family room, breakfast nook, one bathroom in the bottom floor hallway, the deck and backyard which is completely fenced. The "off limits" areas include the formal living room, formal dining room, kitchen, one bedroom downstairs, garage, and the second floor of the home, these areas were observed to be made inaccessible by doorknob covers, child safety latches, door keys and/ or child safety gates. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area. The backyard is completely fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard. The home appears to be clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. Poisons were locked in the garage by means of locking the laundry room door which leads to the garage. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. The licensee was reminded to conduct an emergency drill every six months and document.
