LPA informed Applicant of the nature and purpose of the inspection. Applicant informed LPA of the intention to maintain operating hours of a Family Childcare Home (FCCH) from 7:00 AM until 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Applicant intends to care for children 3 years of age to 12 years of age. Applicant was informed changes in licensing hours and/or the ages of children supervised and cared for can be altered upon notifying CCLD of the given modifications and/or changes. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 0 children and 1 additional adult (Applicant's daughter who is cleared and associated). There are 3 adults residing in the home and these 3 adults are cleared through The Guardian website.

LPA, in the company of Applicant, toured the interior and exterior of the two-story residence in its entirety. The residence has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, multiple living rooms, dining rooms, kitchen, laundry room, garage, and backyard. The areas to be used for childcare within the residence is one downstairs bedroom (main day care room) and one downstairs hallway bathroom. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services. Importantly to note, the second story of the home is made inaccessible by a child safety gate.

· LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher (2A10BC) in the area for childcare which was purchased on 1/12/26. LPA reminded Applicant of the responsibility to service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually.

· The residence has dual smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A combination smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector was tested in the main day care room at 10:15 AM and was found to be operational.

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

· LPA observed no bodies of water in the back yard or on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Applicant.

· Applicant informed LPA that no firearms or ammunition are present on site.

· At this time, the back yard will not be used by the FCCH, however, in the coming months the Applicant intends to use a part of the backyard for day care services. LPA informed Applicant of the process to follow should the Applicant make a part of the yard available for children to use. The footing in the backyard area is made up of tile, concrete pavement, dirt, and natural grass.

Applicant does not plan to care for infants 24 months and under at this time.

On this date, 3/2/26, the California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility address. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ.
