25 | An annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Y. Yang and R. Maciel. A review of staff records on 05/04/2023 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. 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 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. There are currently two adults living in the home.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The licensee and an assistant was supervising 11 children. The facility’s operating hours are 08:00am to 05:00pm, Mon–Fri.
