On 10/30/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loraine Perez met with Licensees Alena & Olga Melnik for the purpose of an unannounced case management inspection. Licensee has requested to increase from a small family childcare to a large family childcare. LPA observed five children three infants and two preschoolers during inspection.  All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Licensees carry liability insurance. LPA verified with Licensee that current associations are accurate. 

Health and safety inspections were conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include: entire upper level, laundry room, garage, and mid level outdoor deck/patio. Licensee acknowledges that she must contact Community Care Licensing prior to changing any on-limits areas. A fire clearance was granted on 10/23/2024 for these areas.
 
LPA discussed CCR 102416.5 (d) which discusses the required ratios and capacity for a Large Family Child Care. Licensee understands that children under 10 years old that live in the home count towards total capacity. LPA discussed personnel records needed for adult and minor assistants. LPA reviewed a sample of children's records to be complete.

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 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-andresources/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.
 
Licensee was encouraged to visit the Department website at WWW.CCLD.CA.GOV for childcare updates, current forms, legislation and regulation information.

The licensee has not obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC9149).  Without this consent, the applicant understands that, once licensed, they can operate with a maximum capacity of 12 children.  If property owner/landlord consent is obtained in the future, the applicant is advised that a new Application for a Family Child Care Home License (LIC 279) must be submitted with a change of capacity fee of $25, to increase the capacity and provide care to 14 children.

Effective today, 10/30/2024, Licensee’s request for a Large Family Child Care License is approved. Licensee can now provide care for 12 children (when there is an assistant present) with no more than 4 infants. Infants are children under the age of two years. Licensee understands that when there is no assistant present, ratios of a small capacity must be adhered to.

An exit Interview was conducted with Licensee Alena Melnik and facility evaluation report was reviewed and discussed with the licensee. In the areas that were evaluated, no deficiencies were observed. A Notice of Site Visit was provided, which should remain posted for 30 days for parental review.
