Pre-licensing visit·November 25, 2024

A prelicensing inspection was conducted today at 9:15am by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. LPA met with applicant Elena Baltazar-Acevedo. The applicant is requesting a license for a capacity of 8. The facility will operate 7 days a week 24 hours a day. The applicant understands that more than 24 hour care to one child at one time is not allowed. The residence is a 3 bedroom/2 bath single story home. There are 4 adults and 1 minor currently living in the home. The home and yard were toured, and the facility sketch was verified. The following areas will be off limits to children: the 3 bedrooms including the master bathroom and detached garage. These areas have been made inaccessible by means of locks and doorknob covers. Poisons are locked in the garage. The home is equipped with a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. The children will use the backyard as the outdoor play area. The backyard is completely fenced. There is no pool, spa, pond, fountain, or any other body of water on the premises. 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. Because the applicant rents/leases the home, proof of landlord consent and notification is required. A copy of the Property Owner/Landlord Notification form (LIC9151) that the applicant confirms was provided to the property owner/landlord. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02- CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes 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: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm 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. Entrance Checklist was provided to the applicant. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the 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 the 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, 10/7/2024, 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. Applicant was 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. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with the applicant Elena Baltazar-Acevedo. Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) regularly sends information to licensed facilities, providers, and stakeholders by way of Provider Information Notices (PIN), Program Quarterly Update Newsletters and other important information communication platforms.
