25 | Due to COVID – 19 and the Department of Public Health (DPH) guidelines of social distancing, a pre-licensing tele-inspection was conducted via Facetime on 03/02/21 at 1:00 PM. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Randy Derraco met with change of location applicant Karla Zelaya via Facetime app.
All areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected, including but not limited to, off limit areas. This is a 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 story home with a living room, dining room, laundry area, kitchen and detached two car-garage. The back yard will be used as an outdoor play area and the front yard will be off limits to children in care.
Applicant took LPA on a guided tour of home. The entrance to the day care is located to the left side of the home through a pad locked wooden gate. LPA observed a COVID 19 information board, a portable hand washing station, hand sanitizer, disinfectant, a no touch thermometer, and a board designated for required postings upon entering. The main care area is located indoors and outdoors. LPA observed the outdoor main care area to have 3 tables, 3 storage cubbies for toys and art materials. The LPA observed the backyard play area to have a plastic Step 2 brand jungle gym, age appropriate toys, and outdoor play equipment. LPA observed a storage shed made inaccessible by a pad lock and a garage made inaccessible by a locked door. Applicant states both the shed and garage are off limits and are being used for storage. LPA observed a covered chain link fence towards the back of the play area that opens up to an alley. The chain link fence can be locked making the alley inaccessible to the backyard play area. LPA observed a plastic storage chest for additional toys and play equipment in the backyard play area.
LPA observed the back entrance to the home that leads to a hallway. An off-limits laundry area was observed on the left with storage cabinets above the washer and dryer. LPA observed child proof locks on the washer and dryer. (Page 1) |
