25 | On 12/6/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee Sarah Van Liew for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Licensee states no others are present in the home today except for their assistant, who was present during the inspection. At 11:05am, LPA observed a total census of 9 preschool children.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include garage, backyard, and all upstairs. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. There are weapons in the home properly stored as required by regulation. LPA did not observe any bodies of water at the facility. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Stairs are properly barricaded to prevent access to children. Outdoor play space is fenced.
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.
LPA reviewed 9 children’s files, of which 5 were missing records of MMR immunizations. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 3/2024, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the Licensee and expires 1/2025.
