25 | On 9/19/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carol Heath conducted an unannounced annual/random inspection at Fernandez Family Child Care. Upon arrival, LPA Heath met with the licensee, Blanca Fernandez, who provided a facility tour. One adult (the licensee) and two children (13 and 17 years old) occupy the home. 2 young children and one infant (1 year old) were present at the time of the inspection. The licensee stated that the facility operates Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) were discussed, and the licensee confirmed that no children require IMS.
The home is set up as follows:
The home is a one-story house featuring three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a kitchen/dining room, laundry room, and garage. No pool, spa, or body of water is on the premises. The home was inspected for safety, comfort, cleanliness, telephone service, and ventilation. It has central heating and air conditioning, and all windows have screens free of cracks, bugs, and debris.
Daycare is provided in the family room and living room. Children use the bathroom in the hallway on the left. Children have access to the living room and family room.
Off-limit areas include all bedrooms, bathrooms #1 and #2, kitchen, laundry room, and garage. LPAs observed a barricaded gate in the hallway, making all bedrooms, bathroom #1.5, laundry room, and garage inaccessible to children in care. LPAs also observed two safety gates on each side of the kitchen entrances to be barricaded. |
