25 | A Required Annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel. A review of staff records on 4/8/2024 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks received a criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. 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.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee was supervising 11 children and was operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicles. The facility’s operating hours are from 7:45 AM - 2:45 PM Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The facility was toured inside and outside and the floor and yard plans submitted by the licensee were verified. The children will have access to the office, main classroom, the front yard, the backyard, and student bathroom. The "off limits" areas include the home's master bedroom, the staff bathroom, the laundry room, the kitchen, the backyard shed, and the side yards. These areas were made inaccessible by door locks and latches. The home was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The children in care have access to age-appropriate toys and equipment. There is a working telephone in the home. Licensee’s pediatric CPR/First Aid certification was current and expires in June 2025.
