25 | A Required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. A review of staff records on 01/19/2022 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 two 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. The Licensee (LS) was supervising two children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 7:00AM to 9:00PM, Mon–Sat. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are three bedrooms, one bathroom and garage, and were made inaccessible by plastic doorknob covers. The home was orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The fireplace was screened by a wooden particle board. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. The CPR/First Aid certification did not meet the Department’s requirements. LS did not furnish a current AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training certificate for LS and S1. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were stored out of the reach of children. There is a functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher at the facility. The Licensee stated that poisons were not stored on site and LPA did not observe any poison during the inspection. The facility conducted an emergency drill on 01/19/22. The facility roster of the children currently in care was reviewed and appeared to be complete. LPA reviewed two children’s (C1 & C2) records at 10:49am, and emergency and identification forms and required immunization were on file, however; C1 & C2’s record were missing parents’ rights (LIC 995). LPA issued a Technical Violation for this deficiency.
