25 | On January 9th, 2023 at 8:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jo Ann Legaspi conducted an inspection with Applicant Kody Daley. The inspection’s purpose is to ensure that the home follows standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. Present in the home was the Licensee, one (1) helper and five (5) children; two (2) children under 12 months, two (2) toddlers (2-3 years) and one (1) school aged child (age 5 years).
The following areas are used for childcare: the family room, one (1) bathroom and the fenced front side yard. The off limits areas include the backyard, kitchen, remaining bathrooms and the bedrooms. The bedrooms and remaining bathrooms are made inaccessible by use of child safety doorknobs. Kitchen cabinets have cabinet locks. Children will only use the living room to pass towards the fenced front side yard for outdoor activities.
The in ground pool is located in the off limits backyard. The backyard is enclosed by two wooden fences which hinder access into the backyard. The childcare bathroom has a door which leads to the backyard, however there is a safety door gate on this door and another fence barring access into the backyard.
The in ground pool is fenced. LPA toured the backyard/pool area and observed that both metal and wooden fences encloses the pool. LPA measured the fencing height to be approximately 5 feet high. LPA observed that the gate opens away from the pool/backyard area and is self-closing and self-latching. LPA and Licensee opened the gate and allow the gate to self-close and self-latch. The gate self-latching device is less than 6 inches from the top of the gate. LPA observed that metal fencing does not obstruct the pool from view and is not easily climbable by children. The in ground pool is made inaccessible to children by fencing.
Licensee declared that children shall not utilize this pool or backyard area. Licensee states they will ensure children are kept away from the backyard/pool area.
