25 | LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an announced prelicensing inspection for a relocation with the applicant to ensure compliance with standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. The visit was conducted as a tele- inspection via Zoom due to COVID-19. The two story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of 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 applicant was asked whether she had any bodies of water or weapons in the home and she replied no. CPR and First Aid expire on August of 2021 for both the applicant and two sons and assistant Hamdi Mohamed. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. Applicant rents the home and provided proof of control of property in the form of a lease agreement that was submitted with her original application.
Applicant will be using the following rooms for childcare: the kitchen, the dining area, the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom all located in the downstairs portion of the home. Off limits is the garage and the entire upstairs of the home which contains the second, third and fourth bedrooms and the home's second bathroom. The garage is made off limits with a door knob cover that is installed on its door handle while the upstairs is made off limits with a secured safety gate that is installed at the bottom of the home stair case.
The home does not have a dedicated back yard as it is immediately next to the neighboring residence. Applicant will use her front yard and her left side yard area for outdoor play but as there is currently home construction occurring at structure next door and no side containment fencing, applicant understands that direct supervision must be provided at all times when children are playing in the side or front yard areas. The side yard on the right side of applicant's home is the property of her immediate neighbor and will not be used by the applicant. |
