25 | On November 29, 2021, at 2:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with the licensee, Maricela Galvan. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Five (5) children (including two of the licensee's own who are under the age of ten) and the licensee and her cleared and associated spouse, David Galvan, were present in the facility during this inspection. This facility is a two floor, five bedroom, three bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, the family room, the living room, the downstairs bedroom/playroom and the downstairs bathroom. Off limits areas are the garage and the entire second floor of the home. The garage is made off limits with a locking door handle and a dead bolt lock on its entrance door while the second floor is made that way with a child safety gate that is securely installed at the bottom entrance of the home staircase.
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 that is currently off limits to the day care children as the licensee is in the process of making the yard useable for child care. Licensee understands that once all her work is completed in converting the yard, she has to contact Licensing to have them come and inspect it and approve it before it can be used for care. Licensee states she currently takes children to a local park for outdoor activity whenever necessary. The yard is made off limits with a latching, sliding and alarmed glass sliding door.
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. |
