On 1/22/2023 at 12:00 pm, an annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), E. Friese and E. Laird. At 12:00pm the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising 2 children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are 6:00 am - 7:00 pm, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits area of the home is the master bedroom, and garage, and it was made inaccessible by keyed lock. The children do not use the yard as the outdoor play area, they go to the park. There is a seasonal creek on the property. The front yard is completely fenced with 5 foot fencing. Licensee understands children outside of the fence must have 100 percent supervision.

Two children's records were reviewed at 11:57am . One staff record was reviewed at 12:30pm. There are currently 2 adults living in the home.

The following deficiencies were cited: Children's files were incomplete, LPA's observed gasoline and harsh chemicals accessible to children and unlocked, home and food preparation area is not kept clean and organized, facility has not conducted fire drill within the last six months and fire drill log was unavailable for review, licensee is not conducting safe sleep checks, licensee did not have facility roster for review, licensee did not have required postings. (see LIC 809D):

LPAs E. Laird and E. Friese informed licensee Carmen Tarrant that this report dated 1/22/2024 documents 1 Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

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.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. 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.
