On Tuesday, June 4, 2024 at 10:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tanya Washington met with Licensee, Megan Farren, for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection.

All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

A health and safety evaluation was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limit areas include: Licensee's daughters room, master bedroom and outside shed (office). Licensee acknowledged that children may never enter these off-limit areas. LPA observed that the facility is clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. LPA observed a functioning smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a full 2A10BC fire extinguisher. The facility has adequate toys that appear to be safe for children to use. The licensee stated there are no weapons or poisons in the home. There is no fireplace in the home. LPA observed a spa located on a deck in the backyard, the spa is covered and latches are in place as required in Title 22 Regulations.

LPA reviewed eight children’s files which were observed to be complete. Required postings and the children’s roster were observed. LPA observed that the last fire drill was documented in December 8, 2023. Licensee’s CPR/First Aid card expires 07/03/2025. Licensee's Mandated Reporter Training is valid until 03/29/2025. LPA reviewed safe sleep checks for infants under two years old.

LPA verified that the annual fees are current. Licensee was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
