25 | At 11:00am on 12/3/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee Leticia Aguilar for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA observed a total census of 14 preschool children supervised by licensee and their adult assistant. Licensee stated no others were present in the home today.
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 all upstairs, garage, and laundry room. 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. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home and LPA did not observe bodies of water on the property. Stairs in the home are properly barricaded. There is a disconnected gas fireplace that is not used. Outdoor play space is fenced.
Criminal record clearances were verified and 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 along with personnel files and observed both to be complete. Through interview and record review, LPA determined that all 14 children present were preschool aged. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current AB1207 mandated reporter training for licensee was verified and expires 8/2026. Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 11/2026. LPA reminded licensee that Pediatric CPR and First Aid must be renewed through an EMSA approved training program.
