A review of records indicates that all employees and/or volunteers have documentation on file for required immunizations (influenza, pertussis, and measles).
LPAs discussed the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website at www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. Reporting requirements, as outlined in Title 22, Section 102416.2, were also reviewed.
Licensee Sylvia Fernandez was reminded that all adults (age 18 and over) living or working in the home—including employees and volunteers—must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer an existing clearance or exemption, prior to their initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. Per Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, a civil penalty of $100.00 per day (up to five days) will be assessed for violations, or up to 30 days per person for repeat violations.

LPAs also encouraged the licensee to check for recalled infant devices on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website: https://www.cpsc.gov, and to register all infant equipment to receive recall alerts.
