25 | On January 9, 2023, at 12:30 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Gloria Gonzalez conducted an unannounced Annual Required Inspection and met with the Licensee, Alba Ladron de Guevara. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Two (2) daycare children and no members were present in the facility during this inspection. This facility is a two story, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: living room #1, living room #2, dining room, kitchen, bathroom #1, playroom and laundry room. Off limits areas are all of upstairs (bedrooms #2, #3, #4, and bathrooms #2, #3), bedroom #1, backyard, and garage, and are inaccessible through use of door knob covers, and a barricade. Hours of operation are: Monday-Sunday from 4:00 am-5:00 pm.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. Hazardous items were made inaccessible to children during the inspection. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced backyard that is not available for outdoor activities at time of inspection. Licensee states she takes the children to a nearby park for outdoor play. The upstairs is not used and is gated off at the bottom of the stairway and the applicant understands the barricade must be in place when children under five years are present during day care hours. The jacuzzi is made inaccessible to children by a covering that is locked and in an inaccessible backyard. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances. 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. |
