25 | On 12/05/23 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Odom conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to ensure that the facility is staying within compliance of Title 22 regulations.
LPA met with Licensee Ascbeth Esperanza Hernandez. LPA took census, there was 1 infant, and 5 preschool age children with 1 assistant (Argentina Velasquez) in the childcare area. Licensee was in the kitchen preparing the meals and Staff #2 was supervising the children during outdoor play. Licensee’s spouse was also in the facility in the backyard. LPA observed licensee’s spouse return from running errands and enter the facility through the front door in an off-limit area. The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staff-to-child ratios. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review showed that all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
LPA interviewed licensee (S1) about their daily schedule with the children in care and staff and ratio. S1 stated they currently have about 9-10 children attending daily. Children eat, nap, and play in the childcare areas. S1 stated they currently have 2 assistants, Staff #2 (S2) works Monday to Friday and S3 works on the weekend Saturday and Sunday. S1 stated they are no longer providing overnight care at this time. S1 stated Staff #4(S4) is currently assisting with transportation, 2 children daily and 5 other children on occasions. S1 stated S1, S2 and S3 are the staff that’s always supervising the children in care.
In the areas that were evaluated, no deficiencies were observed of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 at the time of the visit.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
