The purpose of the visit is to ensure the home is in compliance with standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. The one floor, three bedroom, one bathroom home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. The fire extinguisher and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. Analyst inquired if there are any bodies of water in the home and the applicant replied no. Applicant does have a firearm in the home but it is secured in a locked case and kept separate from ammunition which is also kept in a separate locked area.
