25 | On 03/18/2022 at 1:30pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Diana Campos arrived at the home for an unannounced 1 year required inspection. LPA met with the licensee, the licensee's fingerprint cleared spouse, and 9 children in care which consisted of one infant, 4 preschoolers and 4 school age children.
At 1:50pm, LPA toured the areas of the home used for the child care, with the licensee, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The home is a split level home, which is neat and clean with heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. The on limit areas include the living room, dining room, kitchen which will be used only to access bathroom, child care room and bedroom behind kitchen and bathroom on the lower level of the home. The off limit areas include the master bedroom and bathroom on the upper level of the home, bedroom to the right of hallway on lower level, the garage and small shed in the yard. These areas are made inaccessible by gate, closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision. The isolation area will be the living room, away from other children in care. LPA observed an ample supply of toys and activities accessible to children in care, and they are age appropriate and in good condition. There is a gate at the bottom of the stairs leading to the upper level of the home. The outdoor play area is the fenced backyard, which is free from defects or dangerous conditions. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, telephone, first aid supplies and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher. Per the licensee, there are no firearms in the home. The wall heater is screened, and the fireplace in the living room is blocked, to prevent access by children. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, hazardous items, or toxins accessible to children today. The licensee conducted fire and earthquake drills in 01/2022.
At 2:30pm LPA reviewed 5 children's files. The licensee's CPR/first aid certificates are current and expire on 11/20/2023. The facility roster was reviewed and a copy obtained. The licensee has a certificate of completion for the required mandated reporter training, but is due to renew. |
