25 | A Required Annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel. A review of staff records on 8/2/2024 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks received a criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee was 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.
LPA was unable to complete the inspection on 8/2/24 and will return to complete the inspection at a later date. During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee was not present in the home during the time of the inspection. Licensee is being cited separately under complaint report dated 08/02/24. Two assistants, facility representative Vivian Marcela Rocha Pereira (S1) and staff 2 (S2) were present in the home, supervising 7 children and were operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. LPA called the Licensee who stated that she had left the facility at 11:00 AM that morning and would return on Monday, 8/5/24. No children were observed left in any parked vehicles. The facility’s operating hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Mon–Fri. The home was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The children in care have access to age-appropriate toys and equipment. There is a working telephone in the home. Facility representative's pediatric CPR/First Aid certification was current and expires in October 2024. LPA observed a functioning smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector and a fully charged fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. At 12:47 PM, LPA observed that the retractable baby gate in the hallway was retracted and that just beyond the baby gate, the laundry door was a ajar and cleaning chemicals were stored low to the ground, accessible to children.
