32 | LPA discussed Type A/B citations, open door policy, 100% supervision in unfenced areas and near bodies of water, fire drills, children’s personal rights, and smoking prohibition with the licensee. A current roster of children enrolled must be available and maintained for a period of three years, even after children are no longer in care. LPA reviewed ratio and capacity. Licensee understands that children that live in the home under the age of 10 years old count towards total capacity.
LPA explained to licensee that if they relocate and wants to continue to provide care, they must submit a change of location application and have the new home inspected. Licensee understands that if they want to make any off-limit area an on-limits area, licensing must be notified, and LPA must do an inspection before children are allowed in the area. Licensee understands that licenses are not transferable, and once licensed, licensee must live in the home and be present for 80% of the operating hours.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, 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.
The licensee provided proof of control of property.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.
Child Care Center (CCC) and Family Child Care Home (FCCH) licensees are responsible for ensuring that each child’s needs can be met at the time of admission and throughout a child’s attendance at the facility. Children with disabilities or special health care needs may require medications while in care. Childcare staff can learn to safely give medications to children, and these services are known as IMS.
LPA reviewed with licensee the LIC 311D, Forms/Records to Keep in Your Family Child Care Homes, children’s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted. Entrance Checklist was provided to the licensee. |
