32 | During the inspection, LPA reviewed and discussed the Safe Sleep Regulation with the Licensee. LPA emphasized the importance of adhering to the guidelines for cribs and playpens. Licensee was reminded that toys, blankets, or pillows should not be placed inside these sleeping areas, and no objects should be hung above them or on the sides. It was also mentioned that the mattresses used must be designed specifically for cribs and playpens, and bed sheets must be tightly fitted. LPA also informed the Licensee that monitoring the infant every 15 minutes during naptime is mandatory. These checks must be documented and kept in the infant's file for review by the Department.
The licensee and helper 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 licensee, regular fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least once every six months. The latest drills were completed on 12/15/2023
Random children's records were reviewed. The licensee 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.
During the inspection, LPA reviewed Forms/Records to Keep in Your Family Child Care Homes, children's forms/records, and personnel forms/documents with the Licensee. In addition, license capacity and limitations were also reviewed with the licensee.
