25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced Required - 1 Year inspection. LPA met with Licensee Jennifer Perez who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Upon arrival, LPA observed the Licensee providing care for five children (4 preschool and 1 infant). Per Licensee there are six children enrolled and the roster is current. Individuals residing in the home have been discussed and noted.
At Approximately 11:00am LPA conducted an inspection of all areas of the facility sketch. This is a one story home consisting of three bedrooms, three restrooms, living room, kitchen, dining area, bonus room, garage and back yard. The Licensee only uses the bonus room, a restroom in the bonus room, and the backyard. All other areas are off limits to the children.
Areas accessible to children were inspected to ensure that they are clean and orderly with ventilation and heating for the safety of the children. There is a working telephone maintained in the home. Licensee has one medium sized dog that is accessible to children. LPA advised Licensee to provide extra care and supervision if Licensee gets a pet as animals may be unpredictable. Primary care takes place in the bonus room and detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other items which can pose a danger to children are inaccessible. LPA observed the backyard is surrounded by fencing at least five feet high. The backyard appears to be free of hazards and has gated areas to prevent children from being out of sight. LPA reminded Licensee to ensure medicines, cleaners, paints, sharp objects, grills, propane, and similar items must be inaccessible at all times. Poisons must also be locked with a key or combination lock.
LPA verified weapons and firearms status. Licensee indicated there are no bodies of water and LPA did not observe any on the premises. The License, Parents Rights Poster, and Earthquake Preparedness was posted. The valve on the required 2A 10BC fire extinguisher indicates fully charged and is due for service January 2023. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the bonus room were tested and are in operable condition. The children's roster and the Disaster drill is current (last date of drill December 5, 2022). |
