Pre-licensing visit·October 7, 2025

On 10/07/2025, at 10:45AM Licensing Program Analyst(LPA), Hanna Lucas, conducted an announced comprehensive visit for the purpose of a pre-licensing inspection. A tour of the home was conducted with the applicant, Mary Brenner. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a converted garage, and a large completely fenced backyard. The following areas will be used for child care: the back yard, and the hallway bathroom. There are two sheds located in the backyard, that will be used for childcare once the Encinitas Fire Department confirms they are permitted. Off limit areas include: the entire home, besides the hallway bathroom. These areas will be made inaccessible by a baby gate while day care children are present in the home. Applicant has been informed that all items that indicate "keep out of reach of children" and are toxics, poisons or other hazardous items are to be kept inaccessible. The fire extinguisher meets licensing regulation size (2A10BC or larger), is fully charged, easily accessible, and is located in the side shed. There is a sufficient number of age-appropriate toys, books and games for children, that are in good condition. There are no bodies of water or firearms/weapons/ammunition on the premises. Applicant, Mary Brenner, presented evidence of control of property, as she is the homeowner. The applicant understands that she watch a maximum 14 children with an assistant present. When an assistant is not present, the applicant understands that she must operate as a small family child care license. LPA confirmed that all the adults living in the home have been fingerprint cleared, associated with the facility, and have met all the immunization requirements. Applicant has provided evidence of the completion of the required 8-hour Health and Safety training and 8-hour Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate, which is valid through August 2026 and her Mandated Reporter Training valid through 09/2027. 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. LPA provided the pre licensing packet handout, including YMCA information resources. LPA reviewed with applicant the LIC 311D, Forms/Records to Keep In Your Family Child Care Homes, children\342\200\231s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted. 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-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. On this date, 08/29/2025, 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.
