25 | On June 14th, 2022 at 2:00pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arianna Manabat met with applicant, Karishma Safi, for the purposes of a scheduled pre-licensing inspection at the facility. The applicant lives in an apartment with three minor children. Licensee is aware that her own children are included in the ratio if they are present in the home.
All the adults living in the facility have a criminal background clearance on file. The hours of operation will be Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 4:00PM- 9:00 PM. The off limit areas include the upstairs, laundry room and backyard. The applicant has stated that they would use the living room as the isolation area in the event that children become suddenly ill. Applicant was notified that they would need to contact the department before making any on-limits areas to off-limits or vice versa.
LPA inspected the entire home with the applicant for health and safety hazards. All of the toxic or dangerous materials are inaccessible. There are no pets in the facility. The facility has a working telephone, fully charged fire extinguisher, first aid supplies, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector that meets regulations. As per the applicant, there are no firearms or weapons in the facility. Cabinets in the kitchen and drawers do not possess potential hazards inside. Knives are stored in an area inaccessible to children and stored upstairs. Per the Licensee, the discipline policy will be to stop the child and to ask them not to fight, if the behavior continues then the licensee will call the authorized representatives.
Applicant was advised that all adults, 18 years and older living in the home, helper or assistant must have obtained a criminal record clearance and must be associated to the facility prior to working in the facility. This can be done by submitting an LIC 9182 with copy of CA DL or CA ID prior to having any contact with children in care. Failure to do so could result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.00 each day.
