LPA inspected cabinets in all on-limit areas, including the kitchen, family room, bedrooms, and hallway bathroom, and observed that no hazardous materials or toxins were accessible to children. LPA tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors located in the hallway and found them to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, which meets State Fire Marshal standards.
At 8:45 AM, LPA inspected the backyard and confirmed that there are no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area includes age-appropriate equipment such as benches, tables, chairs, playhouses, ride-on cars, shopping carts, trucks, a crawling tunnel, and multiple slides with cushioning underneath to absorb falls. The backyard is fully fenced and free of defects or hazardous conditions. A canopy provides shade and protection from sunlight during outdoor play.
At 9:30 AM, LPA reviewed the files of four (4) children and the assistant’s file. All children’s files contained the required documentation, including Identification and Emergency Information, Parent’s Rights, and Medical Consent forms. The staff file included required health records, a Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse, and Employee Rights documentation. LPA also reviewed health records for the licensee, staff, and children and found the licensee to be in compliance with immunization requirements for childcare providers. Licensee carries liability insurance for the facility. All required licensing documents are posted and visible for public review.
The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills at least once every six months, with the most recent drill completed on March 31, 2026. The licensee has completed Health and Safety training, maintains current CPR and First Aid certification (expiring March 2027), and completed mandated reporter training on March 2, 2026. The facility roster was reviewed and found to be accurate, reflecting both currently enrolled children and those no longer attending.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
