Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joe Macias conducted an unannounced Case Management/ Increase of Capacity Inspection. LPA was greeted and granted entrance by the Licensee Susana Valencia. The Licensee recently submitted an application for an increase of capacity. The Licensee is currently licensed to provide care for up to 8 children, and wishes to obtain a large license to provide care for up to 14 children. The purpose of today’s inspection is to ensure the home is in compliance with Title 22 California Code of Regulations. Prior to today's inspection LPA Macias received an approved fire clearance from City of Salinas Fire Department. Todays census is 4 (1 infant, 1 preschool age, 2 school age). The Licensee and her adult Rafael Tapia are currently the only adult who reside in the home. The Licensee's eldest adult son Officer Francisco Tapia was also present in the off limits area of the home. The day care hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 5am - 6pm. The Licensee's CPR and First Aid are current, and expire September 2022.

LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas of the home during today's visit. LPA reviewed a current Child Care Facility Roster and Fire/Disaster drill log during today's visit. The last fire disaster drill was conducted on June 4, 2021. LPA Macias reviewed the children files and observed all required documents present. The Licensee has a working telephone in the home. LPA observed sufficient materials, toys, and play equipment for the children in care. The home is orderly, and safe for the day care children. LPA did not observe a wall heater in the home (central heat). Off limit areas of the home: all bedrooms, bathroom #1, and detached garage.

All detergents, cleaning compounds, poisons, medications, and other similar items are out of reach and inaccessible to children.

Supervision of children was discussed with the Licensee and she understands that she must be present in the home during day care hours to ensure that the children are safe and supervised at all times.

· Keep all items out of the crib or play yard.
· Pacifiers may be used as long as they do not have items attached to them.
· Infants should not be swaddled or have any items covering them while sleeping.
