25 | On 11/20/24, at 12:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Amanda Madrigal, 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 two-story house. The FCCH only utilizes the first story of the home which includes: a living room, bathroom, kitchen, garage (converted playroom) and front yard area. The remainder of the home is excluded: 3 bedrooms, 1 additional bathroom, and backyard. Importantly to note, the excluded areas are made inaccessible by locks, child safety gates, and fences. At the time of the inspection, there were 11 kids present, along with two additional staff members (all cleared and associated).
LPA observed the FCCH to be orderly and clean. The bathroom, utilized for childcare services, is clean and free of toxins. Each bathroom cabinet contains items that aren't a danger to children in care. Medication, along with sharps were observed in the kitchen area in elevated cabinets. Cleaning supplies were observed in a locked cabinet in the kitchen beneath the sink. Additional kitchen cabinets were observed to not have any hazardous items. The Licensee informed the LPA that the FCCH possesses a First Aid Kit.
LPA observed age-appropriate books, toys, and other furnishings throughout the exterior of the FCCH (garage).
LPA observed appropriate licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a wall in the living room of the FCCH. LPA observed a fireplace within the living room that is made inaccessible by a metal screen and child safety lock. LPA also observed a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector within the FCCH. At 12:51 PM, the combination carbon monoxide and smoke detector was tested. The detector was found to be operational.
LPA also observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH, which was last serviced on 9/4/24. 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 9/19/24. (CONT. 809-C, Page 2)
