25 | On 04/11/22, at 12:40 PM Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Francisca Velazquez and Francisco Pedroza conducted an unannounced Required inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA's conducted COVID-19 pre-screening questionnaire and based on Licensee's responses it was determined to be safe and health. LPAs met with Maria Perez, Licensee of the FCCH and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. LPAs notes ten (10) children are on site, along with Assistant, Maria Novoa.
LPAs, in the company of the Licensee, toured the exterior and interior of the FCCH. This is a two-story home with three (3) bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home’s living room, kitchen and dining area, daycare room, bathroom and outdoor yard are used for child care services. Conversely, the whole second floor, laundry room and garage are excluded from childcare services. LPA notes that the second floor is made inaccessible by means of a baby gate located in the first step of the stairs. LPA notes that the laundry room is locked and inaccessible to children in care.
The FCCH is orderly and has ventilation to afford for the children’s comfort and safety. Medication in the FCCH is stored in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen. Sharps are stored in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen. Cleaning compounds were observed to be stored in the laundry room that is also inaccessible to children in care. Toys, furniture and equipment observed in the FCCH are age appropriate.
Required forms are posted on the FCCH day-care room. The FCCH has smoke and carbon monoxide detector. Detector was not tested due to children napping during the time of our inspection. Per licensee, drills are conducted monthly due to Licensee having a contract with CAPSLO's Migrant Sesonal Head Start Program. The FCCH has a regulation fire extinguisher which was purchased 6/22/2021. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the home’s fire/disaster drill documentation. The last drill was completed on 2/25/22. CONT 809-C |
