25 | On February 14, 2022, at 9:45 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Loida Martin. Ms. Martin's primary language is Spanish, however, her sister Mical Martin-Cruz, who is an associated helper to her mother's licensed day care came by the home during the visit and assisted in providing translation for the licensee and analyst today. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Three (3) children were present with Ms. Martin in the facility during this inspection. This facility is a one floor, two bedroom, two bathroom home. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the living/day care room and the day care bathroom.
Off limits areas are the kitchen, the two home bedrooms and the second bathroom and the garage. The kitchen is inaccessible through the use of a child safety gate that is installed at the entrance between the living/day care room and the kitchen. The two bedrooms and the second bathroom are made off limits with door knob covers that are installed on their respective door handles.The detached garage has a locked entrance door. The home has a laundry area immediately off the kitchen which is inaccessible due to the child safety gate installed at the kitchen entrance. The licensee has made previous for use areas (the kitchen and the second bedroom) off limits. Licensee will send analyst an updated facility sketch by 02/21/22 to show the new home set-up
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 concrete backyard area that is off limits as licensee does not feel it is appropriate for outdoor play. Licensee instead uses her gated front yard that has a gated fence built on the front porch of her home that prevents immediate access to the four step staircase that leads down to the play yard and a removable child safety tension gate that she installs at the bottom of the steps when children are using the front play yard and then is removed when play in the yard is complete. |
