Licensee applied to change from a Small Family Child Care Home to a Large Family Child Care Home. Fire clearance was granted by Stockton Fire Department on 02/28/2025.
At time of inspection, LPA conducted an annual inspection as well. LPA observed three children present in the home with Licensee. Licensee's operating hours are Monday through Saturday 24 hours per day. LPA verified the annual fees are current.
Licensee reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, 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.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include entire second floor, left side of backyard, stairs, and the garage. Off limit areas are being made inaccessible by closed locked doors and baby gates. LPA observed the required postings and a working phone.
