25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Susann Sanchez, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection at the above facility on 08/29/2022 at 12:30 PM. LPA met with Damani White, Licensee grandson who was present and caring for one infant. At 12:50pm Tynita White, Assistant/daughter arrived and guided LPA on a tour of the facility including "off limit" area. Assistant informed LPA that a Licensee is present at the facility but is unable to assist LPA at the moment. During tour LPA saw Licensee Gloria White and LPA introduced herself.
This is a two story home which consists of 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room , garage and backyard (fenced). The children use a large family room, one bedroom downstairs, backyard and bathroom for daycare. The children's daycare room contains latching wrought iron gates that make every other area in the home inaccessible to children. Per licensee, areas off limits to children and parents include: kitchen, dining room, living room, all upstairs and licensee's other bathrooms.
At 12:35pm LPA observed that there is an above-ground pool which is accessible to children in care (pictures were taken). Per Licensee assistant, the pool was placed for summer time play and swim lessons are provided. The pool is accessible via the sliding glass doors in the family room. There is no alarm on the sliding doors or a lock to prevent a child from accessing the pool. There is no cover on the pool. In addition there is a ladder placed which enhances the accessibility and hazardous risk of a child accessing the body of water. This poses an immediate health and safety risk to children in care. A $500 civil penalty is being assessed during today's inspection. LPA informed Licensee assistant that the pool needs to be removed and discussed water safety and hazards. At this moment Licensee assistant decide they will not use the backyard and will still remove the pool.
At 12:50pm, LPA informed Assistant T. White that Damani White does is not fingerprint cleared. White stated that he lives in the home and has always lived at the facility. White turned 18 in 2018.
At 2:10, LPA left the facility while Licensee assistant picked up school age children (4) from school. |
