LPA met with Sherry Odam, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The FCCH is a 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom single-story home. The FCCH utilizes a living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, backyard, and front yard, while the remainder of the home is excluded (garage). Importantly to note, one of the guest rooms was converted into a nursery for the FCCH. At the time of the inspection, 5 children were present. LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathrooms, utilized for childcare services, are clean, orderly, and free of toxins. Each bathroom cabinet is made secure by child safety latches. Personal medication and sharps were observed in the kitchen area. Personal medication and sharps are stored on top of the kitchen refrigerator which is elevated and out of reach of children in care. Cleaning supplies were stored in a secure kitchen cabinet beneath the sink. Each kitchen cabinet in reach of children in care is secure with child safety latches. Additional cleaning compounds are stored in an off limits area (garage) in the home. Significant to note, the living room possesses a fireplace that is enclosed by glass doors. Licensee informed LPA that the fireplace is not utilized while children are present. The Licensee also informed the LPA that the FCCH possesses a First Aid Kit. LPA observed age-appropriate toys and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH. LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a bulletin board in the FCCH. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the FCCH. A smoke detector was tested at 11:02 AM and a carbon monoxide detector was tested shortly thereafter at 11:03 AM. Both detectors were found to be operational. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)

LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was serviced on 2/29/24. LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on 9/13/24. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every four to five months.

As mentioned previously, the front yard and backyard is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's backyard is enclosed by secure wooden fencing. The fence’s entry/exit points are secure. As is the case with the interior of the FCCH, the outdoor areas have toys, play structures, and other furnishings throughout the area that can afford for appropriate and healthful childcare services. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is made up of varying surfaces (grass and concrete pavement). The Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity. LPA confirmed that the Licensee does not have any pets or bodies of water on site. LPA observed two securely locked sheds in the backyard that contain holiday supplies, household supplies, and yard work equipment.

LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and immunization records, among other relevant licensing documents. The Licensee's records were also viewed. The Licensee’s CPR/First Aid Training (EMSA approved), expiring on 3/4/26, and Mandated Reporter Training, expiring on 3/6/26, is current and complete as are other relevant licensing documents and forms. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms and ammunition present within the FCCH.

The Licensee does not currently provide medication or Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. 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.

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. Through children's record review and verbal attestation, LPA confirmed Licensee checks and documents napping infants every fifteen minutes. (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
