On 01/29/25 at 4:00PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luigi Gargaro, conducted an announced return 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. Analyst met with applicant Margarette Pierre and her son Jamesley Exantus. Ms. Pierre speaks limited English but her son was able to provide all needed translation during analyst's visit.

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 and carbon monoxide detectors 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 October 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 which she submitted with her original application.

Applicant will be using the following rooms for childcare: the kitchen, the living room, the dining area, the second home bedroom and the guest bathroom. Off limits are the first and third (master) bedroom (with the inclusive master bathroom which is located off the kitchen). The bedrooms are made off limits with door knob covers that are installed on their respective door handles. The applicant has sufficient toys and equipment available.

The home has a fenced front yard available for outdoor activities. The two side yards are off limits with a built in gate on the right side and a latched gate on the left side. The left side alleyway, which stores the applicant's personal items, may be accessed from an exit door off the kitchen but the door is made inaccessible with a door knob cover installed on its door handle as well as a dead bolt lock.
