Routine inspection·June 3, 2026

On June 3, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an announced annual inspection and met with the licensee’s assistant/spouse, Tamir Badamgarav. The purpose of the inspection was explained, and the assistant granted LPA access to the home. Upon entry, LPA observed children engaged in free play. The assistant supervised four children (two infants and two preschoolers). During the visit, one additional preschool-aged child arrived. The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and limitations. The assistant disclosed that the licensee had flown out of the country to visit her father and would be absent from the family child care home for approximately 30 days. Criminal record clearances for the licensee and all individuals residing in the home were verified through the CDSS Background Check System, and all were confirmed to be eligible. The childcare areas include the living room (main care area), dining room (napping area), bathroom, and a portion of the backyard (artificial turf area only). Off-limits areas include all bedrooms, the kitchen, the garage, and the remaining portion of the backyard. All off-limits areas were made inaccessible using child-safety gates. Stairs inside the home were also made inaccessible. The facility operates Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. LPA toured the approved childcare areas to assess health and safety hazards. The areas were observed to be safe, clean, and well organized. Age-appropriate toys and materials were available and in good condition. Required safety equipment was present and functional. A fully stocked first-aid kit was accessible, and both the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector were operational. A 2A:10BC fire extinguisher was mounted and met the requirements. The fireplace was barricaded with baby gates. Continued on page 2. page 2. The assistant confirmed that no firearms or weapons were in the home. No baby walkers, bouncers, or other prohibited equipment were observed. LPA reminded the assistant that smoking is prohibited in the family child care home. A disinfectant spray was observed stored on top of the toilet tank, making it accessible to children. The assistant immediately removed the item and placed it on a high shelf out of the children’s reach. A technical violation was issued. Six Pack ‘n Plays were observed in the nap areas. One Pack ‘n Play was being used to store toys and napping items, and five Pack ‘n Plays had blankets placed over the mattresses as improvised mattress covers. Blankets were also hanging on the sides of two Pack ‘n Plays. These practices do not comply with safe sleep requirements, which require that Pack ‘n Plays remain free of blankets, toys, and other items, that mattresses have tight-fitting covers to prevent dislodging, and that no blankets hang on the sides. The assistant immediately removed all blankets used as mattress covers and removed the blankets hanging on the sides. Technical violations were issued. Infant sleep logs were provided for review. The logs included the child’s name, dates, and 15-minute check intervals; however, entries were only documented for June 1 and June 2. The assistant stated that the previous month’s logs had been discarded. LPA reminded the assistant that at least 30 days of sleep logs must be maintained for annual review, records must be retained for three years, and sleep sacks are not permitted in the facility. Temporary absence requirements were reviewed. LPA reminded the assistant that the licensee must remain on the premises to ensure children are supervised at all times, and any temporary absence may not exceed 20% of the facility’s daily operating hours. All required licensing postings were observed. The assistant stated that fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least every six months, with the most recent drill completed on April 14, 2026. During the visit, LPA reviewed children’s and personnel records. Child files were complete and included vaccination records, parental rights forms, and emergency information. The assistant had documentation of required immunizations and a valid Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate. However, the Mandated Reporter Training certificate had expired and had not been renewed. Continued on page 3. page 3. The assistant was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information, see Evaluator Manual - Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Family Child Care Homes Section 102417. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the assistant and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep web page https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed the assistant 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 assistant was informed that as of September 1, 2016, a person may not be employed or volunteer at a childcare facility unless he or she has been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles or qualifies for an exemption pursuant to Health and Safety code 1596.7995 and 1597.662. LPA reviewed AB 1207 with the Licensee assistant. As of January 1, 2018, all staff must complete Mandated Reporter Training every two years. The training can be obtained online at www.mandatedreporterca.com . Licensee assistant was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to childcare providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
