On 10/09/24 at 10:10AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luigi Gargaro conducted an announced prelicensing inspection with the applicants, Marla Cabral and Guendi Cortez. 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 two floor, four bedroom, three bathroom house was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. The combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector meets requirements and is operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. Analyst inquired if there are any bodies of water or weapons in the home and the applicants replied no. A review of records on this date indicates that all adults or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions.

Applicants were reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Applicants own the home and provided proof of control of property in the form of a home grant deed that they submitted with their original application. First Aid and CPR expire in April of 2026 for both co-applicants.

Applicants will be using the following rooms for childcare: the kitchen, the dining room area, the home living room, the day care playroom/bedroom and the bathroom all located on the first floor of the home. The living room has a barrier gate that is installed at its entrance so that it may primarily be used by older children to watch television. However, it was inspected by analyst today and was found to be safely child proofed and may be used at the applicants' discretion. Applicants understand that the room must always remain child proofed for as long as it remains as a for use room.

The following areas will be off limits: the garage and the entire second floor of the home. The garage is made off limits with two installed door locks while the upstairs is made off limits with a secured safety gate that is installed at the bottom of the home staircase.
