25 | An unannounced visit was made to the facility today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Y. Yang. A review of staff records on 06/25/2025 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. Both licensees were present and supervising seven children and operating within ratio. The facility’s operating hours are 07:30am to 05:30pm, Monday through Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home were made inaccessible by door locks and/or child gates. The home's staircase was inaccessible. Children are supervised in a gated childcare area in the living room. The home was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The home's fireplaces are screened using a sheet of plywood. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. The licensees stated there is a working telephone in the home. The licensees' pediatric CPR and First Aid certificates and CA mandated reporter training certificates expire in November 2025. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. The LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The licensee stated that poisons, firearms, and ammunition are not stored on the premises. The backyard is currently off limits and not used for childcare due to construction.
