25 | On July 21st, 2023 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Licensee Fatima Nooristani for the purpose of an unannounced case management inspection. Licensee's daughter and assistant were in the home and Licensee's daughter provided translation services. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Licensee has requested to increase from a small family childcare to a large family childcare.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. The home is on the bottom unit of a duplex and consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, and laundry room. Off-limit areas include laundry room and master bedroom/bath. Applicant acknowledges that child care children must not enter these off limits areas of the home, and their own children under 10 years will count toward the childcare ratio when present during operating hours. A fire clearance was granted on July 13th, 2023 for these areas.
LPA discussed CCR 102416.5 (d) which discusses the required ratios and capacity for a Large Family Child Care. LPA discussed personnel records needed for assistants. LPA discussed required documentation for adult and minor assistants.
Licensee 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, 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.
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
