 There are ample of age-appropriate toys that appear to be safe and in good condition. There are no pools, hot tubs, or any other bodies of water during today's inspection. There were no pets present in the home. The home has electrical outlet covers and maintains a First Aid Kit in the home. LPA did not observe any hazardous materials or toxins accessible to children during today’s inspection. LPA observed that the licensee had a posted plan for fire and earthquake emergency evacuations, and that a log for recording emergency drills was posted, however the log was not filled in with any information. LPA directed the licensee to conduct a fire and earthquake drill with the children present during the inspection and observed that the licensee successfully performed an emergency evacuation. LPA then directed and observed the licensee to record the time of the drill. The last emergency drill was recorded on 08/24/2023 at 11:45 am. LPA observed that all required postings were present in the facility.
LPA reviewed children’s files and staff files. LPA observed that licensee only had children’s files organized for two of the five pre-school aged children present. This is a violation of multiple California Code of Regulations (CCRs) and Health and Safety Codes (HSCs). Specifically, CCR 102418 (g), the requirement that a licensee must maintain a current roster of children, document each child’s immunization's, CCR 102419(d) and 102421 (a) documentation of parent’s rights, 102421(b) and 102417(g)(7) requirement to maintain a copy of children’s emergency information in their file, 102419(d)(1), maintenance of signed receipts of parent’s rights form in children’s files, and 102417(m)(3), parent’s notification of insurance liability. The failure to maintain children’s files for 3 of the 5 children present in care, and to keep critical information readily available for 3 of the 5 children in care constitutes multiple violations of CCRs and HSCs that both pose an immediate risk to children in care and additional potential risks to children in care, as a result, multiple type B violations will be issues for a failure to maintain the aforementioned records. LPA directed the licensee to and organize children’s records as soon as possible. LPA informed the licensee that she would need to provide proof of correction for these violations by 08/28/2023. If not, LPA informed the licensee would arrange for a case managed visit to follow up.

 LPA also observed that the licensee did not keep her facility files, or her own personnel records organized in a file, which is a violation of CCR 102416.1(a)(1) and 102416.3(a)(6). Most of the licensee’s information is on file with CCLD and organized within her facility file, so these violations do not pose an immediate risk to children’s wellbeing. As such Technical Violations will be issues for the licensee’s failure to maintain personal files. LPA checked to see if the licensee could produce proof of CPR/First Aid Certification and Mandated Reporter Training Completion, as these items expire. LPA observed that the licensee was able to provide proof of completion of CPR/First Aid Certification, and her current authorization expires on 12/2024. LPA observed that the licensee was not able to provide proof of Mandated Reporter Training Completion, which is a violation of HSC 1596.8662(b)(1). A type B violation will be issues for this violation as it constitutes a potential risk to children’s health and safety.
