32 | LPA inspected the cabinets in all on-limit areas, including the living room, dining room, office (bedroom), bathroom, and kitchen. No hazardous materials or toxins were observed to be accessible to children during today's inspection. LPA tested the dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector located in the living room and verified that it was functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, a pull-down fire alarm system, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher mounted on the kitchen wall that meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal.
At 8:15 AM, LPA inspected the backyard and verified that there were no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area contains a variety of age-appropriate equipment and materials, including a climbing structure, tricycles, benches, chairs, an easel, play blocks, a play faucet, sandbox, digging equipment, crawling tunnel, playhouse, and a swing-and-slide set. The swing-and-slide set is securely anchored to the ground and has cushioning material underneath to help absorb falls. The backyard is fully fenced and free of defects or hazardous conditions. Canopies are available to provide shade and protection from direct sunlight during outdoor play.
At 8:30 AM, LPA requested and reviewed the files of three (3) children in care and one (1) staff member. All children's files contained the required Parent Notification of Additional Children in Care, Identification and Emergency Information, Parent's Rights, and Medical Consent forms. The staff file contained the required health records, Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse, and Employee Rights documentation. LPA also reviewed the health records of the licensee, staff, and children and verified that the licensee is in compliance with immunization requirements applicable to childcare providers.
The licensee has not conducted or documented a fire and disaster drill since November 2025. LPA reminded the licensee that fire and disaster drills must be conducted and documented at least once every six months. The licensee has completed the required Health and Safety training. The licensee's CPR and First Aid certification is current and expires in March 2027. Additionally, the licensee completed Mandated Reporter Training on May 27, 2025. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflects both currently enrolled children and those no longer attending the facility. All required licensing documents were observed to be posted and visible for public review.
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.
