25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennie Tedlos met with Applicant, Dawna Kirn for the purpose of a Pre-Licensing evaluation. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Applicant's tentative hours are Monday-Sunday with the option for overnight care.
A health and safety inspection was conducted inside and out. The one story home has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The off-limits areas in the home include the master bedroom, master bathroom, kitchen pantry, laundry room, garage, and the 2 backyard side areas. Off-limits areas will remain inaccessible to children by a closed door, door knob covers, baby gates and/ or baby latches. Applicant understands that if they want to make any off-limit area an ON-limits area, they must notify licensing and LPA must do an inspection BEFORE children are allowed in the area. Outdoor play area was toured. There are no bodies of water on the premises and no weapons. LPA verified toxic and hazardous items were inaccessible to children in care. Functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were observed. 2A10BC fire extinguisher and first aid kit were observed.
LPA discussed the new Mandated Reporter Training with applicant. Beginning January 1, 2018, Health and Safety Code 1596.8662 requires all licensed providers, applicants, directors and employees to complete training as specified on their mandated reporter duties and to renew their training every two years. Volunteers are encouraged but not required to take the training. This training requirement may be met by using the Department’s Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) online training modules. The OCAP modules are free of cost and available at: http://www.mandatedreporterca.com/. Applicant has a current Mandated Reporter Training Certificate with an expiration of 05/2025.
Current pediatric CPR and first aid training was verified and expires 03/2026.
Applicant 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.
