Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elise Read conducted an unannounced inspection with the Licensee. The home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. Present were the Licensee, helper Maria Castaneda and 10 day care children. The carbon monoxide detector (located in the kitchen) and smoke detector (located in the family room) meet requirements and are operational. The fire extinguisher (located in the hallway) meets regulation and is operational. Licensee also has additional fire extinguisher located at the back yard door. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. There are no bodies of water on the property. Licensee states that there are no weapons in the home.

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 clearances or exemptions. First Aid and CPR certification expire on 04/14/2020, but it was completed online and not through an approved vendor. Licensee and helper do not have their immunization records available for review today. Licensee has not completed Mandated Reporter Training AB 1207 (available at www.mandatedreporterca.com). Helper Maria Castaneda is exempt from Mandated Reporter Training, as primary language is Spanish. Children's records are incomplete, as multiple children are missing multiple licensing forms. Licensee maintains a current roster and is conducting emergency/disaster drills according to regulation. Last disaster drill was conducted on 06/15/2019.

Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available. Areas used for child care include entire downstairs. Off limits areas include entire upstairs and are inaccessible through use of a safety gate. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. The staircase is barricaded and the fireplace is screened.
