25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hawkins arrived at the facility for the purpose of conducting an annual inspection. LPA toured the facility inside and outside with Licensee Monica Alsobrook. The home was clean, orderly, and was at a comfortable temperature for the children present. Census was taken, and present during the inspection was the licensee and her assistant Leticia Lomeli with 12 children (ages five months to four years old; 4 infants, 8 preschoolers). The facility was within licensed capacity and the required ratio. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
The home is a two story home with a backyard area that is fenced and used for child care. The second story is not used for day care and a gate is in place to prevent children from going up the stairs. The home has a fireplace that is screened to prevent children access. There are no accessible bodies of water on the premises. The home does have firearms, which are locked and kept separate from the ammunition. Anytime when firearms are present in a facility, they must be locked and inaccessible to children. The ammunition must be locked and separate from the firearms. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons and other items that are dangerous to children were properly stored and or locked away. LPA observed sharps/knives in the kitchen drawer with a safety latch that was broken. The smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and carbon monoxide detector were present and within regulations. The toys appear age appropriate and in good condition for the ages served. CPR & First Aid are current for licensee and assistant (exp. 4/2020). The home roster was reviewed and was found to be current, and posting requirements were met. Licensee did not have record of fire/disaster drill log available for review during today's inspection. LPA reminded licensee of requirements of disaster drills (documented every 6 months), posting requirements, children records, mandated child abuse and injury/death reporting. Children's records were reviewed for immunizations, identification of emergency information, and parents rights.
