25 | On Thursday, April 7th, 2022, at 1:39pm, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Blake Morillas and Fabiola Diaz met with the Licensee, Maria Gonzalez, for the purpose of an unannounced Annual Required inspection. The Licensee's helper was also present upon arrival. At 1:40pm, 2 infants and 9 preschool age children were observed.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Operating hours are 7:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.
At 2:02pm, LPA initiated a health and safety inspection of all areas accessible to children. Off-limits areas include the Master Bedroom, Outside Sheds, and Garage. Licensee acknowledged that children may never enter these off-limit areas.
LPA observed a working phone, fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. Toxic and hazardous items (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, sharp utensils, items that could pose a danger to children in care) are properly stored and inaccessible to children.
The fireplace in the home is barricaded with potted plants to prevent access by children. A Fireplace Waiver is being granted to the Licensee. There are stairs in the home which are properly barricaded.
