Routine inspection·July 22, 2022

On 7/22/2022 at 9:50am, a Required -1 Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. Upon arrival to the home LPA met with the licensee's husband. At 10:05am the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee's husband and assistant were supervising five children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. Licensee Ofelia Mendoza arrived at approximately 10:20am. The facility operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The licensee understands that 24 hour care to one child at one time is not allowed. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary dated 7/7/2022 found that the licensee's assistant (A1) has not received the required criminal record and child abuse index clearances. The floor plan and yard sketch submitted by the licensee were reviewed. The off-limits areas of the home are the three bedrooms, main bathroom, kitchen, office and living-room and were made inaccessible by a gate and locks. The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area and it is fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard. Items that could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) are stored out of the reach of children. Poisons are locked in a storage shed located behind a fence that divides the children's outdoor play area and area where storage shed is located. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. The licensee conducted an emergency drill within the past six months, the last drill was documented on 7/4/2022. Report continued: See LIC809-C's Five children's records were reviewed at 11:00am. Three staff records were reviewed at 10:35am. Currently three adults live in the home. The Licensee 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. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with the licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep web page at: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and- resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed the licensee [facility representative] 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.
