25 | LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced inspection with the co-licensee Maclovia Rivero. The home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children per the standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. Present were the licensee, assistants Karina Rivero and Maria Soriano and twelve day care children. The fire extinguisher and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. The licensee was asked whether she had any bodies of water or weapons in the home and she replied no. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all adults or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. First Aid and CPR certifications expire on 06/22/21 for the licensee and her assistants. Children’s records were reviewed and were found to be in order. Children's files contained signed Acknowledgement Of Receipt Of Licensing forms documenting parents' receipt of current compliance plan.
Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Areas used for child care include the kitchen, the dining area, the living room, the day care room, the second bedroom and the bathroom. Off limits areas include the master bedroom which is made inaccessible through use of a door knob cover. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available. The home has a fenced front yard available for outdoor activities. The side alleyways on each side of the yard that lead into the off limits back yard are made inaccessible with secured plastic barricade gating. The home back yard is off limits as it is used to store the licensees' personal items. The yard is made off limits with a locking gated kitchen exit door.
