25 | On 10/4/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanson Leong, made an unannounced annual visit to the Family Child Care Home listed above. The LPA was granted entry by the Licensee, Kiyoko McCoy. The LPA explained the purpose of the visit to Ms. McCoy. The LPA observed Ms. McCoy and her assistant supervising five preschool aged children. During today’s visit, Ms. McCoy’s husband was present in the home. All individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare facility. The facility is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children.
Day-care Areas: Front patio, Living Room, Bathroom #1, and Backyard.
Off Limit Areas: Bedroom #1, Bedroom #2, Bedroom #3, Bathroom #2, Garage and Gated Path (Pass through only).
The LPA and Ms. McCoy both performed careful inspections of the daycare facility to look for any potential health and safety hazards. Toys and equipment that are suitable for children of the proper age range are provided at the daycare. The building has sufficient lighting and ventilation, and it is free of any defects or conditions that put children at risk. The facility is equipped with a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of injuries. The daycare facility is equipped with a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher that is always ready for use. Every garbage can and power outlet has been covered. Products for cleaning and washing, detergents, and any other materials that could put children in danger are stored out of the children’s reach. The LPA did not find any walkers, bouncers, or other comparable objects during today’s inspection. According to Ms. McCoy, there are reportedly no firearms or other weapons on the premises. The LPA found that the facility did have a fish pond, which is inaccessible to the children.
The LPA observed that the facility had posted all the required forms, including the facility license, Notification of Parental Rights, Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, and Notification of Personal Rights. The Licensee is aware that smoking is not permitted in a family childcare facility.
