25 | On 3/5/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Matthew Gallo and Loraine Perez met with Licensee Debora Johnson for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. At 2:00pm, LPAs observed a total census of 5 children consisting of 1 infant, 1 school aged child, and 3 preschool children.
Licensee guided LPAs on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include entire 2nd floor, laundry room, garage, and backyard. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Per licensee, there are no weapons in the home and LPAs did not observe bodies of water at the facility. Stairs are properly fenced to prevent access to children. Licensee was reminded that all poisons must be made inaccessible by key or combination lock.
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.
LPA reviewed 5 children’s files and observed them to be complete. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 2/2025, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the Licensee and expires 2/2025.
