Current EMSA approved pediatric CPR/First Aid training was completed and expires April 2027. Applicant understands CPR/First Aid Training must be completed every two years. Applicant is exempt from taking the Mandated Reporter Training due to it not being available in her primary language.
LPA reviewed with applicant the Forms/Records to Keep In Your Family Child Care Homes, children\342\200\231s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted. Applicant understands a current roster of children enrolled must be available and maintained for a period of three years, even after children are no longer attending. LPA discussed capacity and supervision with applicant. Applicant understands that if an unusual incident occurs, licensing is to be notified via phone call, e-mail or fax within 24 hours and the Unusual Incident Report (LIC 624) shall be submitted within 7 days to remain in compliance.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with applicant 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 applicant of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at:

, and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. 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.

On this date, August 6, 2025, the California Attorney General - Megan\342\200\231s 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 addresses. 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.
