Licensee stated they understand that all bodies of water including ponds, above ground pools, spas, and some fountains must be properly covered or fenced per Title 22 Regulations. The Department must be notified before and after installation of the above types of bodies of water. In addition, all wading pools or similar products must be emptied immediately after use and stored in an upright position.
Both children and employee records were audited during this inspection. Mandated Reporter Training is on file and current for licensee, expiring in September 2026. The License was reminded that Mandated Reporter must be renewed every two years. Licensee Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification is current, expiring in July 2026.
Licensee Kimberly Ochoa 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 discussed the safe sleep regulations with Licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed Licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
Licensee was reminded 15-sleep logs are required for all infants until the age of 24 months. LPA reminded licensee that sleep logs shall document the position of the infant, under the age of 12 months, and include staff initials. Documentation should reflect, date, times, child’s name, signs of distress and or labored breathing. When sleeping in a separate room the door must remain open; the provider should be able to visually observe the infant without moving the door. Additionally, pacifiers are allowed in the crib or play yard, with nothing attached. Clothes clips are only permitted when the infant is mobile. Once the infant can climb out of a playpen, it is no longer appropriate, and the infant can transition out onto a cot or mat. The playpen must be kept free of all loose blankets.
