32 | During this inspection, LPA checked the cabinets in the on-limit areas which includes the day care room, lower level bathroom, lower level bedroom, and any other cabinets accessible to children in care and did not observe any hazardous materials during today’s inspection. The day care room has a fireplace that's blocked to prevent access by children.
LPA tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detector in day care room and found both to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, pull down fire alarm system, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, which meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal.
At 2:30 PM, LPA requested and reviewed the files of five (5) children in care. All files contained Identification & Emergency Information, Parent’s Rights, and Medical Consent forms. During the review, LPA Woods also checked the health records of the licensee, staff, and children and found that the licensee is in compliance with immunization laws applicable to childcare providers.
The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills twice a year, with the most recent drill conducted on 07/07/25. The licensee’s Health and Safety training is completed, and their CPR and First Aid certification is current, expiring in 01/2027. Additionally, the licensee completed mandated reporter training on 11/16/24. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflects current children enrolled as well as those no longer attending the facility.
Effective August 1, 2003, California Law requires Family Child Care Home licensees to report unusual incidents or injuries to children in care to child's parents and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624B). Incidents must be reported within 24 hours by phone, fax, or electronic mail. LPA informed the licensee that all forms can be downloaded at www.ccld.ca.gov and encouraged the licensee to email childcareadvocatesprogram@dss.ca.gov to be included in the Child Care Quarterly Updates distribution list. The licensee was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training ("General" and "Child Care Providers") is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years by visiting www.mandatedreporterca.com.
