32 | Around 3:55 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) asked the licensee whether he was providing Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to children in care, and the licensee stated that he was not. LPA discussed the Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy with the licensee. LPA advised the licensee that when any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.
LPA inspected the cabinets in the on-limit areas, which include the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway bathroom, covered patio, both bedrooms on the left side of the home, and the adjoining bathroom. No hazardous materials or toxins were observed to be accessible to children during today's inspection. LPA tested the dual smoke & carbon monoxide detector located in the living room and found it to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher that meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. The fireplace located in the living room is equipped with a protective screen to prevent children from accessing the fireplace.
At 4:00 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 equipment and furnishings, including tables, a playhouse, a basketball hoop, and a slide. The backyard is fully fenced and was observed to be free of defects or hazardous conditions. A large canopy provides adequate shade for children during outdoor activities. A storage shed containing equipment and tools is secured with a lock, making it inaccessible to children. The in-law unit located in the backyard is designated as an off-limits area and is inaccessible to children in care.
At 4:30 PM, LPA reviewed the files of three (3) children and two (2) staff members. The children's files contained the required Parent Notification of Additional Children in Care, Identification and Emergency Information, Parent's Rights, and Medical Consent forms.
