25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angelica Vargas conducted an unannounced annual inspection for a large family childcare at the above home on 9/15/2026 at 8:31 AM. LPA met with Licensee Rosa Rodriguez, who guided LPA on a tour of the home. There was 2 children present with Licensee when LPA arrived. During the inspection, 1 more child arrived with Assistant and there was a total of 11 children enrolled and 3 children present.
The facility operates Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM each day. Certain areas are off-limits, including all bedrooms, left side yard and garage. The facility is licensed as a large Family Child Care Home (FCCH) with a maximum capacity of fourteen and is operating within the licensed capacity of the license. The fire clearance for a large family child care was approved on 6/17/2016 by Indio Fire Department.
During the inspection, LPA observed Licensee to be responsive and aware of where the children were at all times. A working cell phone and a landline is available, and the current phone numbers on file are correct. An incorrect fully charged fire extinguisher (3A:10BC) was observed, along with a functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector, both of which were tested by the Licensee. The fireplace is properly screened to prevent access by children, and all hazardous items, including toxins, are stored securely and are inaccessible to children. No weapons are present, and the Licensee, Rosa Rodriguez, understands that all firearms, weapons, and ammunition must be locked separately and made inaccessible as per Title 22 Regulations.
The facility provides clean, safe, and age-appropriate toys for children. A current roster is on file, and required postings, including the Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Notification of Parent’s Rights, are displayed. Fire and disaster drill documentation is maintained, with the last drill conducted on August 3, 2026.
