32 | According to the Licensee, there are no guns or weapons on the premises, and no pets.
The licensee stated that she intends to utilize the shared community backyard to create a play area for the children under her care. However, as the yard lacks a fence, LPA has advised the Licensee to be vigilant at all times and position herself so that she has the best view of all children when they are outside. In addition, the Licensee has informed LPA that she intends to take the children to the nearby public park for further outdoor activities.
LPA reviewed with the Licensee the LIC 311D, Forms/Records to Keep in Your Family Child Care Homes, children's forms/records, facility forms/records, and all required postings such as License/Parent's Right poster/Emergency Disaster Plan and Earthquake Preparedness checklist. In addition, the entrance Checklist was also provided to the Licensee. License capacity and limitation were also reviewed with the Licensee. LPA informed the Licensee that if care is provided to the 13th and 14th child, who must be school-aged, parent notification and landlord consent are required.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the Applicant and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed the Applicant of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
The Licensee was 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.
