On April 10, 2024, at 12:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Miriam Cohen conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection. The purpose of the visit was to ensure that health, safety and personal rights, as required by Title 22 Regulations governing California Family Child Care Homes, will be met by Valeria Jimenez-Lepe, applicant. This is a new application. The applicant applied for a Large Family Child Care Home with maximum capacity of 14 children. LPA met with applicant and was guided on a tour of the home, indoor and outdoor. Per applicant, the residents in the home include applicant, spouse, and two biological children (2.0-year-old female twins). LPA reviewed the facility sketch (indoor and outdoor) and it was observed to match the physical plant of the home. Applicant's home is one story with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, kitchen, and a backyard. The primary childcare area of the home shall be in the living room, dining room, and one guest bedroom. LPA inspected the guest bathroom intended for daycare and did not observe any medications, toxins or cleaning compounds that would pose a risk to children in care. The off-limit areas made inaccessible to daycare children by safety locks include the following: master bedroom, master bathroom, and the laundry room. The home was inspected for safety, comfort, cleanliness, telephone service, heating and ventilation, inaccessibility to poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and hazardous items that can pose a danger to children. Hazardous materials in the kitchen and bathroom are inaccessible to children. All poisons are locked. According to the applicant, there are no weapons or firearms at the home; LPA did not observe any firearms or weapons at the time of the inspection. LPA did not observe any pets. The outdoor play area shall be conducted in the back yard only. LPA did not observe any debris or hazards that would pose a risk to children in care. LPA did not observe bodies of water. The 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.

The applicant provided proof of control of property.
Because the applicant rents/leases the home, proof of landlord notification is required. The LPA observed the Property Owner/Landlord Notification form (LIC9151) that the applicant confirms was provided to the property owner/landlord. The applicant obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC 9149).
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02- CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing 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’s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted. Entrance Checklist was provided to the applicant.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with applicant 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 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 05/11/2023, the California Attorney General - Megan’s 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.
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.
