32 | Firearms and ammunition are present on the premises. LPA, accompanied by the licensee’s husband, visually confirmed that all firearms and ammunition are stored separately and locked as required. All poisons are kept in a locked storage area; none were observed during the inspection. Detergents, cleaning supplies, medications, and other hazardous materials are stored out of children's reach.
There is one fireplace located in the living room. It is made inaccessible with a metal screen door and is not used during daycare hours. The home has a working fire extinguisher, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and adequate heating and ventilation for safety and comfort.
This is a single-level home with no stairs. Safe toys and age-appropriate play equipment were observed. The home has working telephone service, and LPA confirmed the phone number.
Licensee ensures children are supervised at all times and is aware that children shall not be left unattended in parked vehicles. The backyard, used for outdoor play, is fully fenced and free of hazards. The facility is operating within the licensed capacity.
LPA reviewed a sample of children’s records and found them to be complete with required emergency contact information. Licensee Sabrina Garcia’s Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification through the American Heart Association is valid through 07/2027, and her Mandated Reporter Training (AB 1207) is valid through 10/06/2025. Records confirm that all employees and/or volunteers have the required immunizations for influenza, pertussis, and measles.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website (www.ccld.ca.gov), which offers access to forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. LPA also reviewed reporting requirements outlined in regulation Section 102416.2.
Licensee was reminded that all adults age 18 and older residing in or working at the facility must have a criminal record clearance or exemption (or have it transferred) before initial presence in the home, as required by Health and Safety Code section 1596.871. Failure to comply may result in a civil penalty of $100 per day, per person, up to 5 days, or up to 30 days for repeat violations. (Continued on LIC809-C)
