25 | A required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cindy Castro. LPA met with Licensee (L1), Guadalupe Domingo. L1 was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
During the inspection the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee was supervising 7 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility’s operating hours are 7:00 AM-5:30PM, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. Children in care will have access to family room, dining room, kitchen, one bathroom, and the backyard which is fenced. The "off limits" areas include the main living room, the garage, the second floor of home and the pool in the backyard. These areas were observed to be made inaccessible by child safety latches, child safety gates, pool gate, pool cover and window in main living room key locked at all times during child care hours. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area. There is a pool in the backyard that is fenced and has a pool cover. There is a pool waiver on file for facility granted on 08/11/2017. The home appears to be clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. L1 stated poisons were locked in the storage shed in backyard. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home.
