A health and safety inspection was conducted inside and outside the home. The facility is a house which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, garage, and a backyard. Off-limit areas will include: bedroom 2 (end of hall on the left), hallway bathroom, and garage. Applicant understands that daycare children may never enter these off-limit areas.

Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children and out of children’s reach. Sharp knives and medication are stored in kitchen cabinets out of children’s reach. A functioning smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and 2A10BC fire extinguisher were observed. LPA observed a fireplace barricaded according to regulation. Applicants stated that there are no weapons or poisons in the home. There are no bodies of water on the premises.

The applicants provided proof of control of property. The applicants have not obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC9149). Without this consent, the applicants understand that, once licensed, they can operate with a maximum capacity of 12 children. If property owner/landlord consent is obtained in the future, the applicants are 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 8 children.

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

LPA explained to applicants that if they relocate and want to continue to provide care, they must submit a change of location application and have the new home inspected. Applicants understand that if any structural changes are made to the home, licensing must be notified prior to construction. Applicants understand that if they want to make any off-limit area an on-limits area, licensing must be notified and LPA must do an inspection before children are allowed in the area. Applicants understand that licenses are not transferable, and once licensed, licensees must live in the home and be present for 80% of the operating hours. LPA reviewed with applicants the LIC 311D (Forms/Records to Keep In Your Family Child Care Homes), children’s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted.

Applicants were 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, 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.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.
