25 | A prelicensing inspection was conducted today at 10:45 am by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), N. Cunningham. LPA met with applicant Sharon Yochum. The applicant is requesting a license for a capacity of 8 children. The facility will operates Monday-Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. The residence is a 4 bedroom/ 2 bath two story home. There are two adults and four minors currently living in the home.
The home and yard were toured, and the facility sketch was verified. The following areas will be off limits to children: laundry room, entire upstairs and backyard, which were made inaccessible by gates and locks. The home is equipped with a working smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and carbon monoxide detector. The applicant stated children will use the front yard as the outdoor play area which is fully fenced when the gates are closed.
LPA reviewed with applicant the LIC 311D, Forms/Records To Keep In Your Family Child Care Home, children’s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted.
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, 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 applicant 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 as an additional resource. LPA also informed applicant of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment. |
