On October 30, 2024 at 10:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Gloria Torres Garcia. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Four (4) children and two (2) staff were present in the facility during this inspection and included the licensee and helper Patricia Sanchez Moreno. This facility is a one story, four bedroom, three 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/living room area, the fourth bedroom (used as a day care room) and the two day care bathrooms located in the main part of the home. Off limits areas are the remaining three home bedrooms and the third bathroom and the home garage. The remaining three bedrooms and the third home bathroom are made off limits with a locking entry door that leads to the part of the house that contains them. The entrance door to the off limits garage is located in one of the off limits bedrooms. Since analyst's last inspection visit, the licensee has made the kitchen and the bathroom inside the day care room accessible, for use areas. Licensee will submit a new facility sketch reflecting the current for use and off limits areas in her home to Licensing within 30 days to have an updated reference for her facility file.

The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector met requirements. Most hazardous items were inaccessible to children. The licensee has toys, play equipment and materials available. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. The yard is sectioned by picket fencing into three separate areas. 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. Licensee’s First Aid and CPR certifications expire in January of 2025 while her assistant, Patricia Sanchez Moreno's, expires in November of 2024. Licensee has required immunizations. Licensee completed Mandated Reporter Training on 06/05/24 while Ms. Sanchez completed hers on 08/08/24. Facility roster is maintained and was reviewed. Licensee last conducted required emergency drills in September of 2024.
