On 8/19/2021 at 1:50 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angelica Ramirez arrived at the Begazo Family Child Care to issue a deficiency regarding accessibility of a body of water. Upon arrival LPA met licensee Maria Begazo who guided the LPA on a tour of the facility. COVID-19 Safety Guidelines were followed during this inspection. LPA observed 12 children in care with licensee and two staff members.

The deficiency cited on this report was observed on 7/21/2021 where LPA observed an above ground pool in the driveway. LPA observed a small two to three foot plastic fence around the above ground pool. The facility did not report the addition of the pool to the Department and pool safety requirements were not followed. LPA informed licensee on this date that the accessibility of the pool was a violation. Upon notifying the licensee of the violation, licensee asked Individual #1 to remove the pool. LPA watched as Individual #1 emptied the pool and folded it to dry. The licensee advised LPA that the pool was purchased on approximately 7/12/21 and had only been used once or twice by older day care children. There was a smaller empty kiddie pool located in an off limits area for younger children which LPA observed.

Type A and Type B deficiencies were cited during today's inspection (see LIC 809Ds). Each report (documenting a Type A citation) shall remain posted for 30 days along with the Notice of Site Visit (printed out during this inspection). A civil penalty will be issued.

**In addition; A copy of this report must be provided to the authorized representatives of all currently enrolled children and any newly enrolled child for the following 12 months.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF LICENSING REPORTS (LIC9224) shall be signed and kept in each of the children’s records. The report shall be provided no later than the next business day or the next day the child is in care.
