25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Samantha Salunga and Keturah Lane, made an unannounced Annual Random inspection and met with Licensee, Maria Tiscareno. There were 5 children in care. Also present was Licensee's helper, Yesenia Garcia. Facility was observed operating within ratio and capacity. LPA's conducted a tour of the home inside and outside per facility sketch. Licensee is using the following areas for day care: living room, day care room, and hallway bathroom. Off limit areas include: all bedrooms, kitchen and detached garage. Outside play area is completely fenced. Business Hours: 24/7.
Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Children’s toys and play equipment are available and observed free of hazards. There is a working telephone/email address. All cleaning compounds, detergents, medications, and poisons are made inaccessible through latches, locks, and/or placed up on high surfaces. Fireplace is screened. Fire extinguisher, carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector are operational. Licensee states there are no firearms or other weapons in the home. There is an in-ground pool in the backyard where the children play. The pool has a chain link fence that surrounds majority of the pool which has mesh material attached to it making the bodies of water visual from the other side of the fence. LPA's observed the mesh material to be in bad condition. The mesh material was observed to be ripped from various sides of the fencing making it climbable. Fencing also had a gate that swung away from the pool, however did not self-latch at all distances. An immediate $500 civil penalty was issued. Children records were reviewed for Emergency Information. There are no new adults living or working in the home over the age of 18 years.
