Licensee states that for the past two weeks children have not had access to the backyard since she has been working on a project. LPA Herrera asked licensee to inspect the backyard since there’s a pool in the premise. Upon inspection of the backyard LPA observed 4 dogs located in the side yard, the dogs were fenced inside a dog run. Licensee understands the liability of pets around day care children and accepts responsibilities of any action taken by pets. The outdoor play area in the backyard is fenced. There is an inground swimming pool and spa located in the backyard which is fenced. There are two pool gates that provide access to the pool. The pool gate located directly outside the home’s backyard is broken. LPA Herrera observed the gate being held closed by a chair placed in front of the gate. The latch has broken off the fence post, which causes the gate to swing open. LPA Herrera observed a spring behind the gate that no longer works and does not allow the door to self-close. The second gate located by the home’s side yard is not self-closing/latching and does not meet regulations. LPA Herrera also noticed the pool fence sway when LPA Herrera physically pushed the pool fence which posed an immediate risk to children. The inground pool and spa were filled with water during the inspection. Licensee is aware of child safety around the pool and assumes all responsibility. Licensee ensures that children in care are supervised at all times when they play in the backyard.

Capacity as specified on the license is being maintained. LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed files were complete with emergency information as required. LPA Herrera observed complete immunization records for all children in care. Licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training was completed on 03/29/2023. Licensee’s pediatric CPR/First Aid certification expires on 04/15/2025. A review of records indicates that licensee has all immunization records on file for influenza, pertussis, and measles.

Licensee understands that there shall be one play yard for each infant in care, the play yard is kept free from all loose articles and objects while infants are sleeping, and there are no objects hanging above or attached to the play yard. Infants are not swaddled while in care. Licensee did not provided proof of physically checking on infants every fifteen minutes and documenting any sign of distress, which includes but is not limited to flushed skin color, increase in body temperature, restlessness, and labored breathing on a sleeping log. Licensee misunderstood the regulation and believed it was children up 12 months that needed to have a 15-minute sleeping log on file. Licensee states she was given safe sleep logs that indicated “for children up to 12 months” which made her believe otherwise. LPA Herrera discussed safe sleep regulations with licensee and emphasized that infants up 24 months should have a 15-minute log on file. Licensee now understands the safe sleep regulations regarding the 15-minute sleeping logs and will document safe sleep every 15 minutes for infants up to 24 months. To be continued on 809-C.
