Licensing Program Analyst (LPAs) Cherie Acosta and Diana Campos conducted an unannounced case management inspection. Present when the LPAs arrived was the licensee, her two adult daughters, 5 preschool aged children and 2 infants in care.
During the course of a complaint investigation the following deficiencies were observed:

At approximately 10:00am LPAs observed the home to have a pool that is not properly fenced for the safety of children. Licensee stated that since her last annual visit they have installed a permanent seating area on the patio. When installing the seating area, a portion of the fence which secured the pool, was removed. Licensee failed to notify Community Care Licensing (CCL) of the changes. During the inspection LPAs observed gaps in the fence that made the pool accessible to children. The seating area which is less than 5 feet high is also being used as a barrier for the pool. The gate on the current fence does not open away from the pool and is not self latching. This is an immediate health and safety risk to children in care. Licensee was informed that she must discontinue caring for children at the close of business today, 11/9/21. Licensee may not care for children until the pool is properly enclosed with a 5 foot see through fence with a gate that is self latching and that opens away from the pool and an inspection is completed by CCL.

Licensee is currently using the converted garage as her main childcare area. The garage has not been cleared by the fire department to use for childcare. Licensee stated that she thought the garage was approved for child care. Licensee was informed that the garage must not be used for childcare without clearance from the fire department. Licensee does not have a permit from the City of Brentwood for the converted garage.

During complaint inspection on 10/27/21, LPA Chew observed the licensee's two adult daughters did not have fingerprint clearance. Both daughters now are fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility.
