25 | On May 22, 2024, at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Leticia Llamas. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Eight (8) children and two (2) staff, including Ms. Llamas and her cleared and associated helper, Yolanda Trueba Rodriguez, were present in the facility during this inspection. This facility is a one floor, four bedroom, two bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, the dining room, the enclosed patio/main day care room, the second day care room, the living room (as primarily a pass through area) and the day care bathroom. The licensee has a fourth bedroom off the laundry room that she may use at her discretion until she is able to make it inaccessible as it was safely child proofed during today's visit.
Off limits areas are the three home bedrooms and the second home bathroom. The three bedrooms off the home hallway and the second bathroom located there are made off limits with door knob covers that are installed on their respective door handles. The licensee still maintains that she would like to make the previously for use fourth bedroom located off the laundry room an off limits room. The room has a sliding door and licensee will have to install a safety device to make it inaccessible such as a highly placed hook and latch so the door cannot be opened. Analyst inspected the room today and found it safely child proofed but once licensee is able to make the room inaccessible and then submits a revised facility sketch to analyst, it will be officially noted as such.
The fire extinguisher and combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. All hazardous items were inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced backyard for outdoor activities. The yard contains a storage shed that is made inaccessible with a locking door handle. No bodies of water observed on the premises during the inspection. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. |
