On February 25, 2025 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza met with Licensee Gladys Hernandez for a Case Management visit to conduct a capacity increase inspection. Present during today's visit were 3 preschoolers, two infants, the licensee, and the licensee's friend who was helping her clean the garage. LPA inspected the home for a health and safety check. The home is a single family house. The home is one story and consists of a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, one bathroom, one (1) car garage, fully fenced in front yard, and fully fenced in backyard. The Off Limit Area is the kitchen, garage, and both bedrooms at the end of the hallway. The off limits areas will be made inaccessible by gate, closed and/or locked doors, and visual supervision. The On Limit Areas are the living room, the bedroom next to the living room, bathroom, the front yard, the backyard, and the walkways on both sides of the house. The applicant was reminded to have 100% supervision of the children when playing outside. The Isolation Area will be the first bedroom next to the living room. Inside the home the LPA observed an ample supply of age appropriate toys, activities and equipment for children, which appeared to be safe and in good condition. LPA did not observe any medication, bodies of water, hazardous items or poisons accessible to children during the inspection today. The applicant stated there are no firearms in the home. The home is equipped with a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher and working combined smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors. The home also has a pull down fire alarm system. The applicant has a current CPR and First Aid certificate which expires on February 2026, and a current Mandated Reporter Certificate which expires on January 23, 2027. The home has three (3) exits, one is the main entrance, the second is at the end of the hallway to the backyard, and the third is through the garage. The Licensee was reminded to maintain all children's files. An LIC126 was provided. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the applicants and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep , as an additional resource. LPA also informed applicant 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. Applicant was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, 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. On February 25, 2025 the California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility address. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ. Applicants were informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org site, a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP . When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.
