25 | On April 5, 2023, at 3:30PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Santos Del Real. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Only the licensee and her two grandchildren were present in the facility during this inspection as Ms. Del Real states she has not had any day care children since 2020. This facility is a one floor, three bedroom, three bathroom home. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, the living room, the dining area, the family/day care room and the day care bathroom. Off limits areas are the three home bedrooms, the second bathroom, the inclusive master bath and the laundry room and are all made inaccessible through use of door knob covers or door locks.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. All hazardous items were inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities, however, the licensee states that she has decided to make it off limits as there is play equipment and other items she would like to remove prior to resuming care. Licensee was advised that she is to update her facility sketch to indicate that it is currently off limits and to send in a copy of the updated sketch to licensing. She was also advised that she will be required to contact licensing to inspect and review her yard before she makes it available for day care use again.
No bodies of water observed on the premises during the inspection. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions.
Licensee’s First Aid and CPR certifications expire in May of 2024. Licensee has required immunizations. Licensee does not have current Mandated Reporter Training certification. The provider has not conducted fire and disaster drills within six months as she has not had children in care since 2020. Licensee was provided a copy of the safe sleep regulations for her to review at a future date for any time she may enroll infants. |
