25 | A prelicensing inspection was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robert Maciel. The applicant is requesting a license for a capacity of 8 children. Services will be available Monday - Friday 07:30 AM - 05:00 PM. The applicant understands that 24hr consecutive care is prohibited. The residence is a 3 bedroom, 2 and a half bath two-story home. There are currently two adults living in the home. 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.
The floor and yard plans were verified. The children will have access to the living room, day care room, the downstairs bathroom, and the back yard. The "off limits" area of the home are the kitchen, the downstairs closet, the second floor, and the front yard. These areas will be made inaccessible by door locks, latches, door knob covers, and/or child gates. The home's staircase is gated at the base of the stairs. The home appears to be clean and orderly at this time and will remain so during child care hours. There is a working telephone in the home (applicant's cell phone). The sharp knives, cleaning supplies, medicines, will be stored out of the reach of children. The applicant states there are no firearms and ammunition stored on the premises. Applicant states that poisons are not stored on the premises. The regulation that poisons are to be locked using a key or combination lock was reviewed. First Aid supplies will be maintained at the facility. The children in care will have access to age appropriate toys and equipment. The home is equipped with a working smoke detector, carbon monxide detector, and a fire extinguisher rated at least 2-A 10:BC. There is no spa, pool, pond, or fountain on the premises and none shall be added without prior approval of the Licensing agency. Continued on LIC 809-C |
