EIN# 46-1345727 Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service - IRS 

LIC # 0157011511 California Department of Social Services - Community Care Licensing

Required by Regulation:

• All adults in home/care providers are finger-printed/cleared with the Department of Justice - DOJ and Federal Bureau of Investigation - FBI for a Criminal Record Clearance or Exemption. Child Abuse Central Index - CACI checked also.

• EMSA Certified & CPR & First Aid trained in Adult, Child and Infant care with prevention of illness or injury.

• Tuberculosis tested and cleared.

• Immunized including but not limited to FLU and  COVID-19 vaccinations.

• Home has working fire extinguishers and smoke alarms.

• No firearms onsite.

• All poisons (cleaners, etc) are locked away. 

• All hazardous materials are inaccessible/out of reach.

• Inside & Outside play areas are safe/secure.

• Child safety gates are used.

• Materials are safe, clean and age appropriate.

• Fire & State Licensing Inspections Cleared.

• State Mandated Reporter - Any reasonable suspicion of physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, harming, injuring (including unlawful corporal punishment) or endangerment of a child will be reported. (General and Child Care Provider completed training.)

• Children have 4 "rules"  or expectations - to be RESPECTFUL, HEALTHY, FRIENDLY and SAFE. Examples of what this looks like are posted in the hallway/sliding door.

• We are a year round in-home family daycare.

• We follow the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) school holidays/calendar.

• We have special days that are planned and communicated in advance:

Fun days - like "Pajama Day" - children wear their jammies to school or "Crazy Hair Day" - children come to school with unique hair styles.

Culture days - we encourage celebrating our diverse community. Families decide what and how they can celebrate accordingly. Examples can be: a shared book/story from parent or my personal favorite, sharing of the significance of the celebration with maybe a special shared dance or food. This is a great way to learn about each other. Some families don't celebrate. We honor YOUR family and it's needs and will always work alongside you.

• We promote altruistic behavior towards ourselves, others and our environment.

• Teaching social/emotional skills as well as academia is a priority.

• NO time outs. For example, unruly behaviors might result in loss of privilege for a reasonable amount of time. If a child is 3 years old and threw sand at another child while playing, they might have to wait to play with sand for 4 minutes (one minute more than the child's age is what is acceptable.) Lots of conversation (individually and/or in a group setting) around the topic usually helps too. Children watch and listen to us and mimic us. Let's set a great example! 

• Aside from the serious DO'S and DON'Ts of licensing, we're a pretty laid back-silly-fun, bunch of people here. It's a prerequisite for working with children. We enjoy humor and don't take ourselves too seriously. 

• Open door policy: If ever, you need to talk about any questions or concerns, feel free to call, text, email so we can schedule a time to meet. We're in this together.
