32 | This is a single-level home with no stairs. Age-appropriate, safe toys and play equipment were observed. The home has working telephone service, and LPA verified the phone number as (559) 352-6389.
The licensee ensures that children in care are supervised at all times and is aware that children must never be left unattended in parked vehicles. The outdoor play area is fully fenced and free of hazards. The licensed capacity is being maintained.
LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed that they were complete with required emergency information. The licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training is valid through July 4, 2027. Her pediatric CPR/First Aid certification is valid through July 29, 2025. A review of records shows that all employees and/or volunteers have immunization records on file for influenza, pertussis, and measles.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website (www.ccld.ca.gov), which offers access to resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates. Reporting requirements, as outlined in Title 22, Section 102416.2, were also reviewed.
Licensee Edie Ferguson was reminded that all adults 18 years and older 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 an existing clearance/exemption, before being present in the licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 per day, per person, for up to five days—or up to 30 days in the case of repeat violations—may be assessed for noncompliance.
LPA discussed safe sleep regulations with Licensee Edie Ferguson and reviewed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as a resource. LPA also advised the licensee to check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ for recalled infant products and encouraged her to register all infant devices with the CPSC to receive recall notifications.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) were discussed. For additional information, see PIN 22-02-CCP. If IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. LPA provided information on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY), and shared the link to the publication Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.
