Note: A qualified assistant must be present and actively involved in caring for children whenever nine (9) or more children are present at the facility. This includes outdoor activity and activity away from the child care facility. The Licensee and cleared assistant's CPR expires May 2021.

There is one small dog on the premises that appeared friendly around the children. The licensee was strongly advised to provide 100% supervision when the dog is accessible and for all outdoor play.

Note: LPA provided Licensee Alamo with a form listing the possible capacity and ratio scenarios approved under Title 22. LPA also reminded Licensee of the following:

1. All adults working with the children, residing in the home or having initial presence in the facility (during operating hours) must be fingerprint cleared.

2. The capacity and ratio requirements for a small family child care home resume when no assistants are present.

3. All medications, cleaners, chemicals and hazardous items (such as knives, sharp objects etc.) must be inaccessible.

Note: Licensee has an approved August 8, 2019 Fire Clearance (14 children),

Once the Licensee submits evidence of a lock system, the Licensee will be approved for a Large Family Child Care.

Upon receipt the Licensee shall post the Notice of Site Visit and the Licensing Report. This report and the Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a $100.00 civil penalty. Exit interview conducted with Licensee Alamo.
