Cleaning products and disinfectants were stored out of children’s reach. The licensee stated there are no firearms or weapons in the home. No baby walkers, bouncers, or similar prohibited equipment were observed. LPA reminded the licensee that smoking is prohibited in the family childcare home.
In the nap area, LPA observed that one of the three cribs contained an oversized and loose bed sheet. This issue had been previously identified during the annual inspection conducted on May 2, 2025, at which time a technical violation was issued. In addition, LPA observed several blankets placed inside the playpens and cribs.
LPA reviewed the infant sleep logs and observed that the logs were prepopulated with times, requiring staff only to place check marks. LPA advised the licensee that sleep logs must be completed in real time, as it is not always clear when infants fall asleep. LPA reminded the licensee that accurate, real-time documentation is required to ensure compliance with infant safe sleep regulations. LPA reminded the licensee that sleep logs must be maintained for at least 30 days and retained for three years, and noted that sleep sacks are not permitted in the facility.
LPA then reviewed children’s and personnel records. Children’s files contained required emergency information, immunization records, and parental rights forms. Both Licensees and all assistants have current Pediatric CPR/First Aid and mandated reporter training certificates. LPA reminded the licensee that staff who decline the influenza vaccine must have a flu declination form on file.
All required licensing postings were observed. The licensee reported that fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least every six months, with the most recent drill completed on January 14, 2026.
Both Licensees were reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
