On 07/18/2019 at 02:10 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Martinez conducted an unannounced annual random inspection today at the Ricardo Family Child Care Home. LPA met with Natalie Ricardo, licensee, who guided analyst on a tour of the facility. LPA observed a total of 11 children present in the family child care home. LPA observed the licensee and adult #1 supervising napping children. LPA verified that all adults present in the home have obtained criminal record clearances and are associated to the facility.

This is a 1 story, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom home with kitchen, dining room (used for napping area, cribs observed), living room (main care area), laundry room (back of house), and detached garage. The garage is used for storage only and no child care activities are conducted there. There is no pool, spa or other bodies of water on the premises. Family members residing in the home include 2 adults (licensee and husband) and 2 children. Outdoor play is conducted in the front yard. The yard is properly fenced and there are educational and age appropriate materials for the children to utilize. LPA did not observe any debris or hazards that would pose a risk to children in care. Toys appeared to be in good condition.

All areas used by children were inspected for safety, comfort, cleanliness, ventilation and heating (central). LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and 3A40BC Fire extinguisher. The home also has a working telephone. All electrical outlets were covered with plastic covers. Medications are stored away from children’s reach. Per the licensee’s assistant, there are no firearms on the premises. LPA observed a well stocked first aid kit. LPA observed First Aid/CPR to be expired (expired 1/13/2019).

LPA observed that all necessary postings (i.e. Notification of Parents’ rights, Emergency Disaster Plan, Facility License) were posted on a wall in the hallway near the home’s entrance.
