25 | An annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Mindy Mohr. LPA met with Licensee, Rassel Di Ramos. A review of staff records indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee 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. There are currently 2 adults living in the home.
During the inspection the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee and her assistant were supervising 12 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are Monday - Friday 7:30AM - 5:30PM. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The children will have access to the living room, dining room, and hallway bathroom. The off limit areas are two bedrooms on the lower level of the home, the kitchen and the garage. The off-limits areas of the home were made inaccessible by door locks and child safety gates. The home appears to be clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. The licensee’s pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed and expire on 03/2024. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. Licensee stated that there are no poisons stored in the home and none were observed during today’s inspection. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. Licensee stated to not have any firearms and/or other dangerous weapons and none were observed during the inspection. The home's yard is fully fenced. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed. Five children's records were reviewed. Facility and personnel files were reviewed and contained required records.
