25 | LPAs, Luigi Gargaro and Dana Stevens, 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, helper Magdalena Gutierrez and ten day care children. The fire extinguisher and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors meet requirements and are operational. Most 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 September of 2019 for the licensee and June of 2021 for her helper Ms. Gutierrez. Children’s records were reviewed and were found to be in order.
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 and the day care bathroom. The following areas are off limits: the two bedrooms and the garage. Both bedrooms are made off limits with door knob covers while both door entrances to the garage (one in the home and one in the backyard) are made off limits with door locks. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. Licensee has two side alleyways that are off limits with latching gates that contain personal items. The home also has a lower level yard that is completely off limits to the day care and is only accessible through an entrance that is located in the off limits alleyway. Licensee has a gated front yard but states it is not for day care use. |
