 On April 16th, 2021, Licensing Program Analyst Lisa Rios contacted the applicant Nataliy Meiler via Facetime (due to Covid-19) for the purpose of conducting a pre-licensing inspection. The applicant has applied for a Large Family Child Care Home that will serve children 18 months through 10 years of age Monday-Friday.
The home is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with a garage conversion in the back yard that has been made into a livable space. Applicant went to city hall and found out that the space has not been permitted and notified the landlord that no one could be living there. The tenant that was there when the applicant moved in is now gone (see declaration in file and description in this visit).

LPA Rios was taken on a tour of the home starting at the front yard where the children are dropped off. There is a gate all around the property that is about 7 feet tall and the parents come through the gate to drop off the children. Due to Covid-19 the parents are not allowed to enter the house. There are Covid-19 posters on the wall to the right of the front door and just in the door is a health check station with a no touch thermometer, hand sanitizer and masks for adults and children. The front yard is a wide space of grass for play and there is plastic little tike slides and cars and lots of toys for the children to play with.
Inside the front door is a living room that has a couch, a train table and shelves with toys. Behind the train table, the outlet was covered with child proof covers and the fireplace was made inaccessible to children with plywood covering the opening. Past the living room to the right is a kitchen. The kitchen cabinets and drawers had safe items inside and the one cabinet with cleansers had a child proof lock across it. There is an alcove in here that has been made inaccessible with a baby gate across and behind the gate there are toys, disinfectant wipes and medicine kept on a high shelf out of reach of the children. There are 6 combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in the home: in the hallway, kitchen, master bedroom, bedroom #3, dining room and bedroom #2 (the nap room). Outside of the kitchen in both corners of the hallway there are 2 A10BC required fire extinguishers mounted to the wall and stamped by the fire inspector on March 5th, 2021.

In the kitchen there is a complete first aid kit and all required licensing postings can be seen on a cork board on the wall in the hallway.
Across from the kitchen is a dining room that has a table with 6 chairs for eating and two more blue kids tables, a piano and an organ. There is a closet here that is being used to store toys.
Further down the hallway to the left is bedroom #2. Bedroom #2 is used as a napping room and there are 10 cots here with sheets for napping. This room has double French doors (kept locked) that lead to a deck that is off-limits. On the deck is a structure covering the AC unit, some storage and plant items. The deck is on the side of the house and made inaccessible by a gate that is kept locked.
Through the 2nd bedroom there is a bathroom (and small hallway that has shelves with diapers and extra clothing items) that adjoins bedroom #2 to bedroom #3. The bathroom is for the children to use. Drawers and cabinets are made inaccessible with child proof locks, there is a stepping stool and a potty seat for younger children. The tub has a bucket and a mop used for cleaning. Through the bathroom is bedroom #3 that is used as a classroom for elementary age children who are distance learning with an instructor. The applicant has 5 children in here that she states are her grand children (see unlicensed complaint dated 4/12/2021). They all have masks on. LPA Rios told applicant that when LPA Castellanos made the inspection for unlicensed complaint that she had several people in the facility (a cook and a teacher) that were not listed as associated with their criminal background clearances. Applicant told LPA Castellanos that they were associated to her last facility and that they needed to be transferred. LPA Rios told the applicant that she would need to fill out the LIC508, LIC9182 and a copy of the driver's license to LPA Rios today (LPA Rios emailed the applicant the forms) and would have to associate their criminal background clearances before she could be licensed. Applicant stated she would do that today.

Across the hallway from bedroom #3 is the master bedroom. This bedroom has a queen size bed, a bathroom with toiletries and a closet with clothes in it.
If you go back to bedroom #2 and exit the French doors and go through the locked gate there is a converted garage in the back of the house. The applicant states that this conversion is not permitted and that she told the owner no one could be living here (there was someone living here at the time that she moved in). The space has a bathroom with laundry facilities, a small kitchenette and up stairs there is a loft with storage containers. The floors are polished cement and downstairs there are many storage items. It does not look like anyone lives here. The applicant has signed a declaration that no one will live in this garage (see LIC812 dated 4/16/21).
