25 | An unannounced inspection of the facility was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), J. Velasco. A review of staff records prior to this inspection indicates that all facility staff and other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are currently four adults living in the home.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. Two licensees and one assistant were supervising 12 children under ten years of age and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday - Friday, year-round. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. Childcare is provided in a classroom in an outbuilding and in the kitchen, hallway, one bedroom, and hall bathroom of the main home. The off-limits areas of the property are the main home's office, entire upper floor, and formal living room; other off-limits areas include the vineyard, paddock, garage, barn, multiple sheds, and other inaccessible outdoor areas separate from the outdoor play area. These were made inaccessible by use of key locked doors, fencing, and fixed, padlocked gates.
The home was observed to be clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. The licensees stated there is a working telephone in the home. The licensees' and staffs' pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed and expire in 08/2021. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children in high cupboards in the main home and classroom kitchens. Licensee stated and LPA verified that poisons are inaccessible in a key locked barn.
