Health and Safety Code 1596.8662 requires that all licensed providers, applicants, directors, and employees complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and renew their training every 2 years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. This training requirement may be met by using the Department’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) online training modules. The OCAP modules are free of cost and available at http://www.mandatedreporterca.com/. The training is currently provided in English and Spanish. L1 has a current Mandated Reporter Training Certificate which will expire on 09/2025. Current Pediatric CPR and First Aid training was also verified by LPA and will expire on 11/2025.

LPA discussed the Safe Sleep Regulations with L1 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 L1 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 that s/he register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on purchased equipment.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed with L1. L1 stated that she does not currently have any children with medical needs nor medication. LPA reminded L1 that proper storage of medications is related to the IMS plan and medication may not be stored in children's backpacks. For IMS information see PIN 22-02- CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) regularly sends information to licensed facilities, providers, and stakeholders by way of Provider Information Notices (PIN), Program Quarterly Update Newsletters and other important information through this communication platform. To receive important licensed related information, visit the CCLD Important Information website at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/community-care-licensing/subscribe and select the Child Care option to receive email communication. L1 was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain childcare by connecting them to childcare providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.

L1 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.

L1 understands that licenses are not transferable, and once licensed, licensee must live in the home and be present for 80% of the operating hours per day. L1 understands that if an unusual incident occurs; licensing is to be notified via phone call, e-mail or fax within 24 hours and the Unusual Incident Report/LIC 624 shall be submitted within 7 days to remain in compliance. L1 understands that if any structural changes are made to the FCCH; licensing must be notified PRIOR to construction. L1 understands that if she wants to make any OFF-limits area an ON-limits area, she must notify licensing and LPA must do an inspection BEFORE children are allowed in said area. L1 understands that children’s records are to be maintained according to Title 22 regulations and be accessible to Licensing for up to 3 years.

If you have any questions regarding the process or CARE tools, please send email inquiries to inspectionprocess@dss.ca.gov. For additional information regarding the inspection and its tools and methods, please visit the Program website at www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/community-care-licensing/inspection-process.

Title 22 deficiencies were cited on subsequent 809-D page(s). An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Licensee Ramacciotti. LPA provided Licensee Appeal Rights to L1. A Notice of Site visit was posted by LPA and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
