25 | On April 3, 2024 at 1:05PM, LPA, Luigi Gargaro, conducted an announced prelicensing inspection for a relocation with the applicant to ensure compliance with standards established in CCR, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, for Family Child Care Homes. The one story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. The fire extinguisher and smoke detector meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children.
The applicant was asked whether she had any bodies of water or weapons in the home and she replied no. CPR and First Aid expire in August of 2025 for the applicant. 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. Applicant rents the home and provided proof of control of property in the form of a lease agreement she submitted with her original application
Applicant will be using the following rooms for childcare: the kitchen, the dining area, the living room, the second bedroom (listed as bedroom #2 on the facility sketch) and the home bathroom. Off limits are the master bedroom and the garage. The master bedroom is made off limits with a locking door handle. The entrance door to the garage, which is found in the kitchen, has a door knob cover on it, which makes the garage inaccessible to children in care. Applicant has a wall heating unit in the home that she is attests is non-operational. Applicant understands that if it is ever made operational the heater must be made inaccessible with the installation of a secured safety gate or any other like security device.
The applicant has sufficient day care equipment available. The home has a fenced backyard that the applicant states will be off limits to the day care for the present as it contains personal items she is planning to remove and as she is also planning to landscape the lawn area. Applicant understands that she will contact licensing once the yard renovations are completed for it to be reviewed and and approved by licensing prior to use. Applicant states she will take children to a local park for outdoor activity instead whenever it is needed. The back yard is made off limits as the exit it to it is found in the off limits garage. |
