25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Cortney Nelson and Mel Matos, met with Licensee, Yolanda Fernandez, for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. Note: the main entrance to the day care is via the right side area of the backyard. LPAs were granted access to the home by the Licensee and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were six children (2 infant and 4 preschool) and two staff (Licensee and 1 adult assistant - Maura Lomeli) present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPAs observed all required postings near the entrance to the home. Hours of operation for the facility are Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM-6:00 PM.
Licensee states that adults residing in the home are: herself, her spouse (Jose), and her daughters (Lupita and Isabel Rocha). Licensee's minor daughter (Ruby Rocha) also resides in the home.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
