25 | An inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Port. A review of adult records indicates that all facility residents, staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are presently 5 adults (including the licensee) and one minor living in the home.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured and the licensee was operating within the licensed capacity. There was 1 infant and 2 preschool age children being cared for the licensee and licensee's mother (Assistant) Maria Ramirez. Also present were adult residents Angel Ramirez and Sebastian Ramirez. Operating hours are 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, however the licensee stated she is open 24 hours per day and 7 days per week if needed by day care parents.
The floor plan was verified. This is a two story home. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of baby gates and door locks. The staircase, entire upstairs, and garage is off limits. The main day care areas are the downstairs play room, family room, and kitchen. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area, and it is completely fenced. The outdoor play area is free from hazards. There are no bodies of water on site. There is a fireplace in the living room screened by a fireplace cover and inaccessible to children in care. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children. Poisonous items are locked in the garage. The home provides safe toys, equipment, and materials. During today’s inspection each child was observed to have safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations, furnishings, and equipment. There is a working carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. The licensee stated there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the home and none were observed during today's visit. LPA stated she uses her cellular phone as the facility's telephone service.
