25 | An Annual Random inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dean Valencia. LPA observed licensee caring for 5 children; of which 4 are infants (birth through and up to 2 years old). There is an adult assistant available for assistance in the home. Licensee was operating within the licensed capacity as specified on license. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Currently there are 2 adults residing in the home.
During today’s inspection, LPA and licensee toured the inside and outside areas identified in the facility sketch as accessible to child care children. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of baby gate. There is at least one working carbon monoxide, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and other items which could pose a danger if readily available to children were stored inaccessible. Licensee stated there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the facility and none were observed during today's inspection. The fireplace is inaccessible and not used while children are in care. The home has age appropriate toys and they are in good repair. The children use the backyard as an outdoor play area. The play area appeared safe and no hazards were observed. The pay area was observed to be fully fenced and play equipment is age appropriate and in good repair. There are no bodies of water on the premises. The licensee has a current roster of children in care. Records of children present during LPA’s inspection were reviewed.
