25 | On 6/2/22, at 1:20 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Francisca Velazquez conducted an unannounced Required inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Maria del Carmen Rodriguez, Licensee of the FCCH and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. Prior to entering the home, LPA conducted COVID-19 pre-screening questionnaire and based on Licensee's responses it was determined that the home is safe and free of any COVID-19 exposures. LPA notes five (5) children are on site along with Licensee's Spouse, Nicolas Rodriguez.
LPA, in the company of the Licensee, toured the exterior and interior of the FCCH. The home’s living room, kitchen and dining area, day-care room, bathroom in the day-care room and outdoor yard are used for child care services, while the bedrooms, and garage are excluded from services.
The FCCH is orderly and has ventilation to afford for the children’s comfort and safety. Medication in the FCCH is stored in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen. Sharps are stored in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen. Cleaning compounds were observed to be stored in an elevated area in the day-care room and in the garage, both areas are inaccessible to children in care. Toys, furniture and equipment observed in the FCCH are age appropriate.
Required forms are posted on the FCCH living room wall. The FCCH has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors which were tested at 1:44 pm and found to be operable. The FCCH has a regulation fire extinguisher which was serviced 6/17/21. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the home’s fire/disaster drill documentation. The last drill was completed on 2/12/22.
The outdoor play yard is completed fenced. LPA notes that part of the yard has been made inaccessible to children in care. LPA notes that the yard affords plenty of shade for the children. Toys, furniture and equipment observed in the yard are age appropriate. LPA observed no bodies of water on site. LIC 809-C
