The home was equipped with a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector. The bathroom was clean and contained age-appropriate toileting equipment. The licensee confirmed that no firearms or weapons are stored on the premises.
The backyard was fully enclosed by a secure fence and free of debris or hazardous materials. Outdoor play equipment was available and in good working condition. No pools, spas, or other bodies of water were observed on the premises.
Parents provide food for their children, while the facility supplies snacks and fruits. The children’s water bottles are refilled from the kitchen sink. Baby formula for one of the infants was brought pre-mixed and was found refrigerated. The licensee stated that no enrolled children currently have allergies. Lunch boxes and water bottles for each child were labeled with their names.
The home was equipped with pack n’ playards designated for children’s naps. All sleep equipment appeared in good condition. Bedding is provided by the parents and laundered weekly.
LPA reviewed facility records, including files for five enrolled children, the licensee, and the licensee’s son. Records for the three children were complete and in compliance with licensing requirements. Two children’s records were missing one or more licensing forms, and the LPA reminded the licensee that the children’s records must contain all licensing forms, resulting in technical violations. Infant sleep logs of the two infants were available for review and were found to be complete. The licensee’s and the licensee’s son's records were found to be complete. Both the licensee and the licensee’s son possess current certifications in Pediatric CPR and First Aid, as well as Mandated Reporter Training.
Two other staff members' mandated reporter training certificates were reviewed, and one was found not to have completed her training, resulting in a technical violation.
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.
