25 | On April 13th, 2022 at 10:35 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jo Ann Legaspi conducted an inspection to examine a previously off limit room for use. The inspection’s purpose is to ensure that the home follows standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. Present in the home were both Licensees, and two (2) infants (both 17 months). The licensee accompanied LPA in the facility during this inspection using the updated facility sketch. The following areas currently used for childcare are the family room, living room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom, and backyard patio. The off-limits areas are inaccessible using door locks or barricaded. The facility’s electric fireplace is located in the living room and is screened.
On 03/14/2022, Licensee applied for use of a previously off limit bedroom. This room is located on the opposite side of the living room. Licensee states this room will be used for the children’s sleep. Observation of this room reveals visible electrical outlets have been covered, the computer desk has rounded corners and the doors to the bathroom and closet have door safety covers. No visible health or safety hazards were observed in this room.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met the requirements. The last safety drill was done on 01/06/2022. Hazardous items were observed inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment, and materials available. No bodies of water were observed on the premises during the inspection.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to the initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. |
