Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. LPAs observed that a container of Round Up pesticide was stored in the storage shed, out of reach, however, the door to the shed was unlocked and open. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and a charged fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The licensee has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months; last drill was documented on 2/4/26. Facility Representative stated she was unsure if firearms were stored in the home or not. LPAs did not observe any firearms. Five children's records were reviewed. Facility and personnel files were reviewed and contained required records.
On 5/18/26, Licensee notified LPA Maciel-Kashima of a newly constructed in-ground pool in the side yard of the home. During today's visit, LPAs reviewed the pool space which revealed that the fencing preventing access to the pool did not completely surround the pool area and was not a minimum of 5 feet high, the facility did possess a pool alarm that meets the ASTM F2208 standard but was not installed at the time of arrival, did not possess a 12 foot fixed-length body hook, did not possess a life ring with a label of approval by the United States Coast Guard, and did not possess a log of recorded daily inspections of pool safety features. Additionally, LPAs observed a hot tub in the back yard with a cover, however, it was not locked. LPAs opened the cover which revealed that the hot tub had a small amount of water remaining in it. The backyard was made inaccessible with a gate in the outdoor play area with a latch, however, the latch was not secured with a lock.
LPAs discussed the safe sleep regulations with facility representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
