32 | Licensee stated there are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. All poisons are kept in a locked storage area and no poisons were observed at the time of the inspection. However, LPA observed one lower kitchen cabinet with accessible cleaning products. A technical violation was issued, and the licensee was advised to install a child safety lock to ensure hazardous items remain inaccessible to children in care.
The home has one fireplace located in the living room, which is secured by metal doors and will not be used during daycare hours. A working fire extinguisher, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and adequate heating and ventilation were observed.
The home is a single-story residence with no stairs. Age-appropriate toys and play equipment were available, and the home has working telephone service, which LPA verified.
The outdoor play area is fenced; however, a technical violation was issued due to gates within the backyard leading to areas with gardening tools that were not properly secured, posing a potential hazard if accessed by children. Licensee maintains supervision of children at all times and is aware that children may not be left in parked vehicles. The facility is operating within the licensed capacity.
A sample of children’s records was reviewed. LPA found that several files were missing required documentation, including the LIC 627 Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment. A Spanish master packet of required Child Care Licensing forms was provided during the visit, and the licensee was given guidance on which forms must be completed and maintained in each child's file upon enrollment. A technical violation was issued.
Licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training is current through 01/16/2026. However, her pediatric CPR/First Aid certification expired on 03/18/2025, and a technical violation was issued. A review of staff records confirmed immunizations for influenza, pertussis, and measles are on file.
LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing Division website (www.ccld.ca.gov), which offers access to forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. Reporting requirements under Section 102416.2 were also reviewed.
LPA reminded the licensee that all adults aged 18 and older living or working in the home must have a criminal record clearance or exemption on file prior to presence in the home. Failure to comply may result in civil penalties of $100/day for up to 5 days, or 30 days for repeat violations.
