25 | On November 8, 2022, at 10:15AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Rosa Villegas. Ms. Villegas understands some English but her husband, cleared and associated Filemon Villegas, assisted with translation today. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Five (5) children and one (1) staff, Ms. Villegas, and her aforementioned husband were present in the facility during this inspection.
This facility is a one floor, two bedroom, one 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 living room, the first bedroom and the bathroom. Off limits areas are the master bedroom and the small outdoor laundry area before the main yard that contains laundry equipment and other personal items. The master bedroom is made inaccessible through use of a door lock. The outdoor area before the yard is made off limits with a locking kitchen door and a picket fence that separates the play yard from laundry area. Children do not walk through the laundry area to get to the play yard. They are escorted through the front gate so they do not access the laundry area.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, 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 available for outdoor activities that has a small casita structure with a lock on it that stores personal items and was used as an office. The casita remains off limits and is made that way with a locking entrance door. The yard also contains a trampoline. Licensee states that the trampoline is used during day care hours and analyst advised her of the requirement to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for its use. 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. |
