Per Licensee, children utilize one (1) bathroom that is located inside the house, which is adjacent to the den. Licensee also stated that the children currently utilize the gated area in the backyard that is located in front of the garage for outdoor activity.

Per Licensee, children enter and exit the facility through the front door accompanied by their parent/legal guardian and are walked to the garage. Based on record review conducted at the Monterey Park Child Care Regional Office by LPA on November 8, 2022, the Department does not have an updated LIC 999A with the disclosed off-limit areas and/or areas currently used by children in care. |
