25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shannel Reed and Licensing Program Manager Sandy Knight conducted an unannounced annual/ random inspection to the home today. LPA met with Licensee, Jenny Garcia, and explained the nature of today's visit. There were 14 daycare children present (four infants, 8 Preschoolers, and two school aged, including the licensee’s 9 year old son) during this visit. The Licensee's 12-year-old son was also present. The Licensee is currently out of ratio due to four infants being cared for at one time during today's visit. The Licensee stated that the only adults that reside in the home are the Licensee, and her spouse, her adult daughter and assistant/ helper, with her two minor sons. All adults have fingerprint clearance. LPA observed that the Licensee's CPR/First Aid card is current and expires on 12/31/20.
LPA and LPM toured the indoor and outdoor areas of the home during today's visit. LPA and LPM observed the required posted documents. The Licensee has a working telephone in the home. LPA and LPM observed sufficient materials and play equipment for the day care children. The home is clean, orderly, and safe for the day care children. LPA and LPM observed barricaded stairs in the home and a barricaded fireplace. Off limit areas inside the home: Entire second floor (master bedroom/bathroom, three additional bedrooms and an additional bathroom) and bedroom 2 on the first/ entry level. Off limit areas outside the home: The garage and fenced open area in the back yard.
LPA and LPM observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher and operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Licensee stated that there are no firearms or other dangerous weapons in the home. Sharps, medications, detergents, and cleaning compounds are inaccessible to children.
A review of Staff records indicates that all persons that require a caregiver background check have received criminal record and child abuse index clearance or exemption. LPA informed Licensee of the applicable civil penalties for any adult who has not received fingerprint clearances, is not associated to the license and who comes in contact with or provides care and supervision to the children.
