LPA also informed Licensees 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. LPA observed 15-minute napping logs for infants under 24 months and a copy of the Individual Sleeping Plan (LIC 9227) for infants under 12 months during the inspection. 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. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/ . Continued from 809-C (Page 3) To improve the quality and value of the new inspection process, a survey may be sent to the e-mail address provided. Please complete the survey and share your inspection experience. If you have any questions regarding the process or CARE Tool, please send e-mail inquiries to inspectionprocess@dss.ca.gov . For additional information regarding the inspection and its tools and methods, please visit the Program website at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/community-care-licensing/inspection-process . Licensees 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. Because Licensees rent/lease the home, proof of landlord notification is required. LPA observed the Property Owner/Landlord Notification form (LIC 9151) that Licensees confirm was provided to the property owner/landlord. Licensees have not obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent Form (LIC 9149). Without this consent, Licensees understand that, once licensed, they can operate with a maximum capacity of 12 children. If property owner/landlord consent is obtained in the future, Licensees are advised that a new Application for a Family Child Care Home License (LIC 279) must be submitted with a change of capacity fee of $25 to increase the capacity and provide care to 14 children. There were no deficiencies cited at this time. An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the licensees, Rachel and Samantha Durao. During the exit interview, Licensees confirmed that there are no registered sex offenders (RSO) living in the facility and LPA completed the RSO profile in the Field Automation System. A notice of site visit was given to Licensees and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
