25 | On 8/3/2022 at 2:35pm, a Required -1 Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. At 2:40pm the home was toured inside and outside. Upon arrival to the home the licensee's two assistants were supervising 14 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The licensee arrived at the home at 2:50pm. The facility’s operating hours are 4:30am-6:00pm, Monday–Saturday. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary dated 7/26/2022 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances. The floor plan and yard sketch submitted by the licensee were reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the garage and second floor of the home. The garage is locked and a gate has been placed at the bottom of the stairs. The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There is an in-ground pool in the backyard. The pool is fully fenced with mesh pool fencing. The gate self latches and swings away from the pool.
Items that could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) are stored out of the reach of children. Poisons are locked in the garage. The LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. The licensee conducted an emergency drill within the past six months, the last drill was documented on 1/10/2022. Ten children's records were reviewed at 3:05pm. Three staff records were reviewed at 3:40pm.
There are currently three adults living in the home. The Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
