25 | On September 13, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lea Habtom met with Licensee Amanda Rupert for the purpose of an unannounced case management inspection. Licensee has requested to increase from a small family childcare to a large family childcare. The facility was granted a fire clearance on 9/11/2023 by Lincoln Fire Department.
During today’s inspection, there were no other adults present in the home and there was a census of 1 infant and 5 preschool children being supervised by licensee. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. LPA verified with Licensee that her current associations are accurate.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas will remain the same, which are entire upstairs, laundry room and garage. Licensee agrees and understands that children may never have access to any off limit areas of the home. Licensee acknowledges that she must contact Community Care Licensing prior to making an off-limit area on-limits and vice versa.
LPA discussed ratios for a large capacity and personnel records. Licensee understands that related children and own children under the age of 10 count towards the total ratio and capacity. LPA discussed required documentation for adult and minor assistants.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, 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 licensed Family Child Care Home. 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.
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-and-resources/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.
