25 | On May 29, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted a random annual inspection and met the licensee, Xiu Ling Wu. The purpose of the inspection was explained to the Licensee, who granted LPA entry into the home. The licensee and her helper supervised eleven children (3 infants and 8 preschoolers). The licensee complies with the licensing capacity and limits today. During the visit, the licensee's husband, who also works as her helper, returned home. All the children got picked up at 5 pm.
All adults working or residing at the home have had criminal clearance verified by the CDSS Guardian System. According to the licensee, the previously approved childcare areas remain the same, with the same off-limits and childcare areas. Childcare areas are the second level's living room, dining room, primary bedroom/nap room, bathroom on the second floor, sunroom on the ground floor, and back yard. Off-limit areas are two bedrooms on the second level; the lower level, including the garage and the rest of the home. All off-limit areas are made inaccessible to children. The days and hours of operation will be Monday through Sunday, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
During the inspection, the LPA thoroughly checked the childcare areas for potential health and safety hazards. It was noted that the childcare areas were clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the fireplace was properly secured with a bookshelf, and all materials and surfaces accessible to children were clean and toxins-free. Age-appropriate toys, including imaginative, creative, and manipulative play items, were present in the childcare areas. Furthermore, the heating, lighting, and ventilation of the childcare areas were deemed appropriate. The home has a fully charged fire extinguisher labeled 2A 10 BC, a carbon monoxide detector, and multiple combinations of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. In case of emergencies, a functional phone is readily available.
