On Wednesday, 6/26/24 at 9AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brittany Crass arrived at the home for an unannounced annual/random inspection. LPA met with licensee Sandra Saenz. There was one infant, two preschoolers, and six school aged children in care during the inspection. Also present for the inspection was a fingerprint cleared assistant, and two other fingerprint cleared adults. This family childcare home operates Monday - Friday 7AM-6PM. LPA verified that the licensee's phone number and email address on file are correct.

LPA toured the on-limits areas of the home with the licensee, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The home is a two story home. The on-limit areas include the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom. The off-limit areas are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors, gates, and visual supervision. The home is currently undergoing some construction in off-limits areas. The licensee understands that before children are able to use these areas, licensing must come out for a visit in order to place these newly constructed areas on-limits.

LPA observed locks on lower cabinets to prevent access by children. The sofa in the living room is used for isolation of sick children, away from other children in care. The backyard is not currently used for outdoor play, as it is under construction. LPA observed an ample supply of age-appropriate toys, equipment and activities available for children indoors and observed that they are in good condition. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, toxins, medications or hazardous items that would be accessible to children. The licensee stated that there are no firearms on the premises.

The home is equipped with fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, a working carbon monoxide detector, working smoke detector, and a working telephone. Licensee has proof of current CPR/First aid certificates, which expire on 8/29/2025. Fire drills are not documented (See 809-D for deficiency cited). LPA reviewed children's files, staff files and obtained a copy of the current roster.
(Report continued, See 809-C).

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

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.

LPA reminded the licensee that smoking, baby walkers, bouncers, jumpers and similar items are not allowed in family childcare homes. LPA provided the main office number for the Oakland Regional Child Care office (510) 622-2602 for the licensees to call and report injuries or unusual incidents and reviewed the form to follow up in writing within 7 days of the injury/unusual incident. The licensees were encouraged to periodically review regulations, guidelines and Provider Information Notices (PINs) on the website www.ccld.ca.gov.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. 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/.

Licensee was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain childcare by connecting them to childcare providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
