25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced Required - 1 Year inspection. LPA met with Licensee Dolores Valenzuela who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Upon arrival, LPA observed the Licensee and cleared assistant providing care for three infants and two preschool children. Per Licensee there are six children enrolled. Individuals residing in the home have been discussed and noted.
At Approximately 9:30am LPA conducted an inspection of all areas of the facility sketch. This is a one story home consisting of three bedrooms, two restrooms, living room, kitchen, dining area, and back yard. The home has central air and the Licensee uses the living room, dining area, two front bedrooms, one bathroom, and backyard for childcare. All other areas are off limits to the children.
Areas accessible to children were inspected to ensure that they are clean and orderly with ventilation and heating for the safety of the children. There is a working telephone maintained in the home. Licensee has no pets. LPA advised Licensee to provide extra care and supervision if Licensee gets a pet as animals may be unpredictable. Primary care takes place in the living room area and detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other items which can pose a danger to children are inaccessible. LPA observed the backyard is surrounded by fencing at least five feet high. The backyard appears to be free of hazards and has gated areas to prevent access to items such as tools and other equipment. LPA reminded Licensee to ensure medicines, cleaners, paints, sharp objects, grills, propane, and similar items must be inaccessible at all times. Poisons must also be locked with a key or combination lock.
Per Licensee there are no firearms, weapons or bodies of water and LPA did not observe any on the premises. The License, Parents Rights Poster, and Earthquake Preparedness was posted. The valve on the required 2A 10BC fire extinguisher indicates fully charged and is due for service August 15, 2022. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the family room were tested and are in operable condition. The children's roster and the Disaster drill is current (last date of drill August 31, 2022). |
