On 12/30/24, at 1:55 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Josefina Vargas, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The FCCH is a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom single-story home. The FCCH utilizes a day care room, one bathroom, and a part of the backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services (entry room, kitchen, dining room, guestrooms, 1 additional bathroom, parts of the backyard, garage, etc). At the time of the inspection, 5 children were present. The Licensee's husband and daughter were also present during the visit (all family members are cleared and associated).

LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean and orderly. Sharps were observed in an elevated kitchen cabinet. Cleaning supplies were observed in the garage which was locked. Personal medication is kept in the master bedroom which is a room excluded from children in care. The Licensee possesses a First Aid Kit for the FCCH.

LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the interior of the FCCH (day care room).

LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently in the day care room of the FCCH. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors within the FCCH. At 2:13 PM, a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the day care room was tested and was found to be operational.

LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last purchased on 11/19/24. LPA reminded the Licensee to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on 12/30/24. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills every three to four months (CONT. 809-C, Page 2).

As previously stated, the backyard of the FCCH is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by gated wooden fencing throughout. The fence’s entry/exit points are secure. Like the interior of the FCCH, the outdoor area has age-appropriate play structures, toys, and other equipment throughout the area that can afford for adequate childcare services. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is made up of stone pavement. This portion of the backyard has a sun cover which provides ample shade for children in care. The Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity. LPA confirmed that the Licensee does not have any bodies of water on site.

LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and immunization records, among other relevant licensing documents. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. The Licensee’s CPR/First Aid Training (EMSA approved), expiring on 11/15/25, is current and complete. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expiration dates. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms or ammunition present at the FCCH.

The Licensee does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) or administer medication to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP.
