32 | At approximately 3:20 PM, LPA requested and reviewed the files of six (6) children in care and one (1) staff member. All children's files contained the required licensing documentation, including the Notification of Parents' Rights, Identification and Emergency Information (LIC 700), Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment, and documentation regarding additional children in care. The staff file contained the required Health Screening Report, Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse, and Employee Rights forms. During the file review, LPA also verified the immunization records for the licensee, staff member, and children and confirmed that the facility is in compliance with the immunization requirements applicable to child care providers.
LPA inspected the cabinets and storage areas throughout the on-limit portions of the home, including the living room, dining area, kitchen, two (2) bedrooms used as playrooms, and the hallway bathroom. No hazardous materials, medications, cleaning supplies, or other toxic substances were observed to be accessible to children during today's inspection. LPA tested the dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector and verified that it was functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a fully stocked first aid kit, and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, which meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal.
At approximately 3:45 PM, LPA inspected the outdoor play area and confirmed that no swimming pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with California Child Care Licensing regulations. The outdoor play area contains age-appropriate play equipment and furnishings, including tables, benches, ride-on cars, crawling tunnels, scooters, bicycles, tricycles, water play stations, mini slides, a teeter-totter, a roller coaster ride-on track, a climbing apparatus, and a wooden swing-and-slide structure. The play structure is securely anchored to the ground and has resilient cushioning material beneath it to help absorb the impact of falls. The backyard is fully fenced and was observed to be free of defects or hazardous conditions. Trees and an awning provide adequate shade to protect children from direct sunlight during outdoor play. A storage shed located in the backyard is secured with a lock, preventing children from accessing equipment and tools stored inside.
The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills at least once every six months. The most recent drill was conducted on April 2, 2026. LPA verified that the licensee has completed the required Health and Safety training and holds current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, which expires in June 2027. The licensee also maintains a current Mandated Reporter Training certificate, completed on January 1, 2026. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflected both currently enrolled children and those no longer attending the facility. The facility maintains sleep logs for children under 24 months of age, and LPA verified that the logs were complete and maintained in accordance with licensing requirements. All required licensing notices and documents were observed to be posted in a location visible to parents and other visitors.
