32 | LPA did not observe baby walkers, bouncers, or similar equipment in the childcare areas, and the Licensee was reminded that smoking is prohibited in the family childcare home. The backyard was fenced entirely with age-appropriate playthings and was free from any hazards or debris that could potentially pose a risk to the children in care. A soft cushion is underneath the play structure to prevent accidental falls.
During the inspection, LPA observed the crib and found it free of toys, blankets, or pillows. The mattress used in the crib was specifically designed to fit the crib's dimensions, and a bed sheet was securely fitted. Additionally, the licensee has taken the necessary steps to ensure the safety of infants in their care by implementing a check every 15 minutes, which was also documented and provided to LPA for review.
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 12/10/2023.
The records of all children who were present 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.
