On 12/8/25, at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced annual random and capacity increase inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Marilyn Macias, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The FCCH is a 2-bedroom and 2-bathroom single story apartment. The FCCH utilizes one bedroom (playroom), living room, one bathroom, and the apartment's playground. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services. Importantly to note, excluded rooms and areas are made inaccessible by child safety locks and gates. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 4 children present, 1 of whom was an infant. Besides the Licensee, no other adults were present in the residence. LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean, orderly, and free of toxins. Bathroom cabinets are made secure by child safety latches and are free of any hazardous items. Cleaning supplies were observed on an elevated shelf in the laundry room. The doors to the laundry room were observed to contain a child safety latch. Personal medication and sharps are stored in elevated and locked kitchen cabinets. No children currently require medication. Importantly to note, LPA observed no fireplaces in the day care. LPA did observe a First Aid Kit in the residence for the day care. LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH (living room and playroom). LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board in the hallway of the FCCH. LPA observed dual smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the FCCH. At 11:22 AM, a dual carbon monoxide and smoke detector was tested in the playroom and was found to be operational. LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last purchased on 12/8/25. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2) LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on 12/8/25. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every six months in accordance with Department regulations. As aforementioned, the apartment's nearby playground is made accessible to children in care. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by metal gating throughout. The fence\342\200\231s entry/exit points are secure. Licensee informed LPA that there are no bodies of water on site. Licensee also informed LPA that no pets are on site.

Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms or ammunition present within the FCCH. The control of property was reviewed. Because the Licensee rents/leases the home, a proof of landlord notification is required.

The Licensee also obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent Form (LIC 9149).

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage as an additional resource at: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep . (CONT. 809-C, Page 3) Through interview, LPA learned that the Licensee checks, however, is not currently documenting napping infants every 15 minutes. 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. Licensee 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.
