At 2:40pm on 10/3/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee Wendy Gatto for the purpose of an unannounced required 1 year inspection. Licensee's husband was also present during the inspection. Upon arrival, LPA observed a census of 14 children, consisting of 3 infants, 8 preschool children, and 3 school aged 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-limit areas include: garage, all bedrooms except daughter's, and office. 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. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home and LPA did not observe bodies of water at the facility. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Fireplace is barricaded to prevent access by children. There are no stairs in the home. Outdoor play space is unfenced and licensee understands 100% supervision is required in all unfenced areas.

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 14 children’s files and observed them to be complete. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 2/2024. However, during inspection licensee could not produce documentation of their most recent mandated reporter training certification. Previous certification expired in March, 2023. (Report continues LIC809-C)
