LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. Five (5) children and one (1) staff member, Sonia Lopez Paredes as well as Ms. Tachiquin were present in the facility and caring for children during this inspection. This facility is a two floor, two bedroom, two bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside and out of the facility during this inspection.

The second day care room area located in the lower level of the home is also a for use room. Off limits is the master bedroom also located on the main level of the home. The master bedroom is made off limits with a locking bolt on the sliding entrance door. While the lower level day care room is for use, the staircase accessing it is off limits and is made that way with child safety gates that are installed at the top and bottom of the staircase. In order to access the lower level day care room and back area of the home the licensee takes children through the right side alleyway. The lower level second bedroom, which was previously a for use bedroom, has been made into an off limits room and is made that way with an installed dead bolt lock and locking door handle. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available. During today's visit licensee informed analyst that the lower level portion of the home was subjected to water damage due to a plumbing issue that occurred on 12/20/24. Analyst inspected the lower floor of the home during today's visit. The water has been removed and the licensee has been cleaning and/or replacing any water damaged rugs and rubber foam flooring for the play area. However, the lower level of the home has been temporarily made off limits to the day care by the licensee and day care children will not be accessing it until the cleaning is complete and all the equipment and flooring have been put back in place or replaced if too damaged. Licensee states she estimates the cleaning and all necessary item replacement to be completed by the end of next week. Licensee states she will send analyst a photo of the lower level when it is ready so that he may review it and determine if it may be ready for use once more.
