25 | On June 23, 2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Fabiola Diaz met with licensee, Candace Thompson, for the purpose of a second increase of capacity inspection. Licensee applied to change from a Small Family Child Care Home to a Large Family Child Care Home. Upon entering the home, LPA observed 8 day care children present in the home.
The two story home has an open front yard, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, 3 garages, laundry room, and fenced backyard. The off-limits areas in the home are garages, laundry room, and entire upstairs. Licensee acknowledged that children may never enter the off-limit areas. Licensee acknowledged that if she would like to change an off-limits area to on-limits, she will inform LPA for inspection and approval prior to using the space. All adult residents have criminal record clearances.
During the inspection, LPA requested a tour of the facility. LPA and licensee conducted a health and safety tour inside and out the home. Functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and a fire extinguisher that meets Title 22 were observed in the home. The Fire Safety Inspection Clearance has been cleared by Stockton Fire Prevention as of 6/15/2021. The stairs in the living room and the fire place in the family room were barricaded meeting Title 22.
LPA observed that there were no hazardous items and cleaning supplies accessible to children. Licensee understands that any poisons must be kept under lock and key. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. Toys appear to be safe, and LPA discussed safety regulations of toys and play structures. The backyard is fenced and gated with a play structure and toys. LPA observed rubber chips underneath the play structure used as cushion.
