During tele inspection on 05/06/2020 and 07/27/2020, LPA was able to observe a covered outdoor play area (Patio) that is an open space between the back door and leads to the detached garage. The two ends of the play area are open, one to the back yard and one to the other side of the house. LPA was able to observe children outside in covered patio area watching TV or reading a book on a table. Patio area decorated as day care with toys, tables, carpet, and TV displayed against the wall.
No children were interviewed due to age and being nonverbal, and parents requesting not to have their child interviewed.

On 03/10/2020 LPA’s Odom and Han conducted a case management visit during nap time hours. Children were napping inside the home. LPA Odom disclosed when conducting facility inspection of home, LPA’s were not able to observe any day care toys, equipment or children belongings inside the home, however LPA’s were able to observe all day care toys, equipment and belongings outside in patio area.

Based on LPA Barajas tele inspection, observations, interviews with RP, Parents, and Staff which were conducted on 04/01/20, 05/06/20, 05/26/20 and 07/27/20, records reviewed, the licensee failed to care for children inside the home and provide the same home environment as provided in a traditional home setting as agreed at Prelicense visit on 06/18/2019 and instead is caring for children outdoors in patio area all day. Licensee reposed children in outdoor patio during day care hours, not providing comfortable
accommodations. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, 102352(f)(1) Definitions, and 102423(a)(2) Personal Rights is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

102352(f)(1) – Definitions: The house next door to the family childcare provider or an unattached building or garage does not constitute “The caregiver’s own home.” Health and Safety Code Section 1597.40(a), which states public policy to provide a home environment in residential surroundings, states a family childcare home should provide the same home environment as provided in a traditional home setting. An unattached building or garage without toilets, kitchen, or bedrooms does not provide a traditional home setting. Since the language of the California Child Day Care Act is very clear, a waiver will not be approved which authorizes use of a facility other than “the provider’s own home” or a “traditional home setting.” However, unattached buildings and garages may be used as additional play space, etc. when free access to the house is allowed.

Based on the information and interviews gathered by LPA Barajas, from Licensee, 6 staff and 6 parents, records reviewed and the inability to interview children as they did not qualify and or parent not allowing child to be interviewed, and neighbors not being available to interview there was insufficient evidence to determine if the allegation: Child wondered out of day care facility is substantiated. Based on 4 staff interviews child was never left alone, staff followed child who ran out the gate to front yard. Although the allegation: Child wondered out of day care facility may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

The complainant alleged Children are only fed rice for lunch and cucumbers for snack.
During interviews conducted on 05/06/20, the Licensee stated her day care provides breakfast, lunch and dinner. Licensee also admitted is part of Food Program. Licensee disclosed her menu can consist of corn, rice, meat with salsa, water, milk, snacks, fruit, crackers and cookies.

During the investigation LPA Barajas interviewed 5 of 6 staff members on 04/01/20, 05/06/20, 05/26/20 and 07/27/20. All 5 staff disclosed children’s lunch and snacks can consist of peanut butter sandwiches, fruit, pieces of oranges, rice, hot dogs, and corn, carrots, meat, chicken, beans apples. Staff disclosed didn’t see anything wrong with food. All 4 Staff also disclosed never witnessed licensee taking food away from children. 2 of 5 Staff disclosed aware facility is part of food program.
