25 | On 2/14/2023 at 2:05pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with Licensee Beth Kemplin for the purpose of an unannounced required 1-year inspection. Licensee states no other adults are present in the home today except for her husband and adult daughter, who were present for the inspection and have criminal background clearances. At 2:05, LPA observed a total census of 5 children, including 2 infants, one of which was under 12 months.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include front bedroom, master bed/bathroom, outdoor shed, and garage. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas. LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home. LPA did observe bodies of water at the facility that were properly barricaded with a 5ft fence that does not obstruct view and features a self-latching gate that opens outward. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Fireplace is barricaded to prevent access by children. Stairs are properly fenced to prevent access to children. Outdoor play space is fenced.
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.
LPA reviewed 5 children’s files, all of which were complete. A current roster is being maintained and fire and disaster drills are documented. Current CPR and First Aid certification was verified and expires 5/2024, and AB 1207 Mandated Reporter Training was verified for the Licensee and expires 7/23. Report continues LIC809-C |
