25 | On 12/09/2024 at 10:48am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Farida Raja, arrived to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Licensee, Nancy Sharma and informed her of the purpose of today's inspection which is to ensure the facility is in compliance with Title 22 California Code of Regulations. Upon arrival, LPA observed a total of 12 children (6 infants and 6 preschool children) and one staff (licensee). Licensee stated that her assistant called in sick today. One more preschool child arrived during today's visit. Facility is over ratio and not in compliance with ratio requirements. This is a repeat violation in a 12 month period as the same violation was cited on 08/20/2024. LPA explained the ratio requirements of a large family child care home to licensee and provided Licensee with a copy of capacity handout. LPA informed Licensee that she cannot have more than 14 children in the home at any time (ratio and age of children to be observed) and a qualified assistant must be present. In the absence of a helper her license capacity is reduced to 8 and ratio and age of children must be observed.
LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas of the home during today's inspection. LPA observed children using the family room and bathroom on the first floor. Licensee stated that children are not using the living room including the small office room as they had water leakage and are in the process of fixing it. LPA observed the child gate to the second level was not closed. LPA advised Licensee that stairs need to be barricaded at all times when children under 5 years of age are present. Licensee stated that children are not using the living room area at present so do not come on this side of the home.
LPA reviewed children's roster, children's files and one staff file. Children's roster is not current. This is a repeat violation in a 12 month period as the facility was cited for the same violation on 08/20/2024. Upon file review, LPA observed that children, C1, C2 and C15 are missing the Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment (LIC 627) and child C15 is missing the immunization record which are repeat violations in a 12 month period as the facility was cited for the same violations on 08/20/2024.
Licensee could not provide proof of 15 minute nap checks for 6 infants (C1, C2, C6, C7, C12 and C13) in care which is also a repeat violation.
