25 | On 8/4/22 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Jeanette Estrada and Austin Estrada conducted an unannounced case management inspection for a capacity increase at the facility above. LPAs met with Licensee, Elia Perez who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Operating hours are Monday to Friday 6AM to 6PM and care will be provided for children ages 6 months to 12 years old. All residents living in the home were discussed and verified. There were 8 children present when LPAs arrived. Fire clearance approval was approved on 7/13/22.
At LPAs arrival, the facility was not in compliance with capacity requirements for a small family child care home. There were 3 infants present and a total of 8 children. Child 1 (infant) was picked up at approximately 3:10PM.
This is a one story home with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, day care room, backyard and detached garage.
Off Limit Areas: Two of the bedrooms in the home are off limits and have safety knobs installed, the restroom in one of the off limit bedrooms and the detached garage.
On Limit Areas: Two bedrooms, hallway bathroom, day care room and backyard. The living room, kitchen and dining room are on limits in passing. Areas accessible to children were inspected for safety, comfort, cleanliness, ventilation and working phone (cell phone and landline). The main day care area is in the back of the home in the day care room. Children nap in two bedrooms. LPAs observed two cribs in one of the bedrooms. LPAs observed blankets and pillows in the two cribs while two infants were using the cribs. LPAs observed Licensee remove the items from the cribs. LPA observed children napping on mats in the second bedroom. The home has central air and heating. The kitchen is not off limits since the home has an open layout. Per Licensee, children mainly stay in the day care room. Detergents, cleaning compounds, sharp objects and hazardous items that can pose a danger to children are inaccessible to children in care. LPA observed that the stove in the kitchen has safety knobs installed, the knives are placed out of reach of children on top of the microwave which is installed in an upper cabinet and cleaning compounds are in a latched cabinet under the sink.
