The LPA observed a designated area for children to sleep or rest quietly. The area includes cribs, sleeping mats, and blankets for each child. The LPA observed one diaper-changing station in the home, which is clean and safe for the children to use. Baby wipes and diapers were available for the children in care.
The LPA observed that all required documents were displayed in the home, such as the facility license, the Notification of Parental Rights, and the Earthquake Preparedness Checklist. The facility’s most recent emergency disaster drill was conducted on 1/5/2024 and was properly recorded, as confirmed by the LPA's review of the log.
The LPA reviewed the records of both the children and staff members. According to the licensee, she doesn't have childcare insurance, which isn't required for a family childcare home. The LPA reviewed the five children's records and found that their files contained all necessary documents, including their Affidavit Regarding Liability Insurance For Family Child Care Home, Immunization Record, Identification/Emergency Information, Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment, and Notification of Parents’ Rights. The licensee was reminded that a sleep log is required for children under two years old. During today’s visit, the LPA provided a sample sleeping log to the licensee. Following a review of the staff records, the LPA found the licensee possesses a current certification in Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter. The licensee’s Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification expires on 7/2025.
The licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, 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.
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.
