32 | All cleaning agents and detergents were stored safely out of children's reach. The facility representative confirmed that no firearms or weapons were present on the premises. LPAs did not observe baby walkers, bouncers, or similar equipment in the childcare areas, and the facility representative was reminded that smoking is prohibited in the family childcare home.
The backyard was fenced entirely with age-appropriate playthings and free from any hazards or debris that could pose a risk to the children in care. LPAs observed that artificial turf was installed on the backyard floor to prevent accidental falls.
During the inspection, LPAs observed that the facility had three cribs and a playpen. LPAs reminded the facility representative that cribs or playpens must be completely free of toys, blankets, or pillows. The padding and mattress used in the playpen must be designed to fit its dimensions, and a bed sheet must be securely fitted. Furthermore, the facility must ensure infant safety with 15-minute napping checks, documented consistently with the check dates and available for review.
All helpers present have maintained complete records and have met all the necessary licensing requirements, including completing required immunizations, mandated reporter training, and maintaining a valid Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification.
All the required posting documentation, such as the facility license, Notification of Parental Rights, and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, have been placed in a prominent area for parents or representatives to review. According to the facility representative, regular fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least once every six months. The latest drills were completed on 1/8/2024.
The records of all the children who were present were reviewed. The facility maintains accurate records for each child, including vaccination records, parental rights forms, and complete emergency information. These emergency documents contain information such as the child's full name, phone number, and the location of a parent or authorized person who may be contacted in an emergency. The records also contain the name and phone number of the child's doctor and the parent's permission for the licensee to consent to emergency medical care if needed.
