LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee and her assistants. Ten (10) children and four (4) staff including the licensee were present in the facility during this inspection. Besides the licensee, the other cleared and associated staff were employees Laura Escalante, Giovanna Gonzalez, and Angie Castaneda. This facility is a one floor, three bedroom, one bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, the living room, the two bedrooms (which are equipped and used strictly as day care rooms) and the home bathroom. Off limits area is the licensee's detached living quarters/bedroom which is located in the backyard area of the home and is inaccessible through use of an installed dead bolt lock.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. All hazardous items were inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. When analyst arrived, the day care children were involved in water activities in the backyard of the home with a wading pool and sprinkler operated sliding mat. The children were appropriately supervised while using these portable water features and licensee states the portable equipment is emptied whenever the children are done playing with the equipment. Licensee has no other types of bodies of water in the home besides these portable water features. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home.
