Routine inspection·March 24, 2022

On 3/24/22 at 11:00am, an annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Emilia Grisak. At 11:05am the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee and three assistants were supervising nine children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility\342\200\231s operating hours are 24 hours a day and 7 days a week and licensee understands that care can not be provided for more than 24 consecutive hours. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are all bedrooms, one bathroom, and the entire backyard, and were made inaccessible by locks and latches. The children use the front yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced when the gate is closed. Licensee was advised that when gate is not closed constant visual supervision must be provided. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard. Nine children's records were reviewed at 11:55am. Three staff records were reviewed at 12:15pm. LPA observed that licensee and spouse do not have current mandated reporter training certificates. There are currently two 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. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed and IMS is not provided.
