25 | LPA, Luigi Gargaro, 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 per the standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. Present were the licensee, her cleared and associated assistants Rosalba Sanchez and Ariana Lopez and eleven 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 01/30/21 for the licensee and 07/19/20 for helper Rosalba Sanchez. Children’s records were reviewed and were found to be in order.
