25 | At 11:25am on 8/1/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee Jaaziel Heckathorn for the purpose of an unannounced required annual inspection. Licensee states no others are present in the home today except for their husband, two adult assistants, and 3 children over the age of 10. Upon arrival, LPA observed a total census of 10 day care children consisting of 1 infant, 7 preschool children, and 2 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. Prior to inspection, off-limits areas included master bedroom/bath, laundry room, and three bedrooms adjacent to the living room. During inspection, licensee stated a desire to turn one of the bedrooms adjacent to the living room to an on-limits area. LPA had licensee complete a new facility sketch with the bedrooms numbered and marked as on or off-limits. Moving forward, the off-limit areas will be master bedroom/bath, laundry room, and bedrooms 2&3 (the two bedrooms to the left of the living), and bedroom 4 (next to the master bedroom). 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 on the property. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. There are no stairs or fireplaces in the home. Outdoor play space is fenced, and licensee understands that 100% supervision is required in any unfenced areas of the property.
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.
