The LPA observed a designated area for children to sleep or rest quietly. The area has sufficient cots and sleeping playpens for each child and are stored in the appropriate location. According to Ms. Guo, parents provide disposable diapers and wipes for their own children. According to Ms. Gao, parents bring bedding and napping equipment for their own children. There is 1 designated changing table in the facility, which is clean and safe for the children to use. The LPA reminded Ms. Guo that emergency exits must always remain clear, and that cots and sleeping playpens cannot be situated in a manner that blocks emergency exits.
The LPA observed that the facility had posted all the required forms, including the facility license, Notification of Parental Rights, and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist.
The LPA reviewed both the children's and staff records. The LPA reviewed the 5 children's records and found that all 5 children have a record of their emergency information on file. The LPA reviewed the sleeping records of the children under the age of two and determined that the data was properly recorded. Following a review of the staff records, the LPA found Ms. Guo possesses a current certification in Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter. Ms. Guo’s Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification expires on 7/2024. In addition, Ms. Guo holds a Child Development Teacher permit from the State of California, which authorizes the Ms. Guo to provide service in the care, development, and instruction of children in a child care and development program, and supervise a CDP Assistant, and an aide.
The LPA reviewed the facility's emergency drill log. According to Ms. Guo, she completed the emergency drills, but she forgot to record them. The LPA reminded Ms. Guo to properly record and carry out the emergency drills every six months.
Ms. Guo 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.
