25 | On 08/16/2024 at 11:11am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Farida Raja, arrived to conduct an unannounced annual/random inspection. LPA was granted access to the home by Licensee, Naila Hameed and explained the nature of today’s inspection. There were no children present during today's inspection. Licensee stated that she is not closed but children are out due to summer break and will return on 08/19/2024. Days and hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. LPA observed all required posted materials in the converted garage of the home and advised Licensee to place postings near the backyard door so it is visible to parents/ authorized representatives. Licensee stated that parents will use the backyard door to drop off and pick up children. The adults that reside in the home are Licensee and Spouse. No minor children reside in the home.
LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas of the home during today's inspection. Licensee has a working telephone in the home (408-504-2270). Licensee stated that she provides care in the family room and the garage is only used to store children toys. LPA did not observe barricaded stairs to the second level of the home. Licensee stated that children will use the backyard door so they do not access the area near the stairs. LPA advised Licensee to place a child gate between the off limit living room and on limit family room so the stairs become inaccessible to children in care as she cares for children under 5 years of age. LPA observed sufficient toys, books and play equipment for the day care children. Furniture, such as tables, chairs, and shelves, are in good condition. The home has central heating/cooling and ventilation for comfort of children. The home is two story. Off limit areas inside the home include: entire second level, living room, one bedroom, laundry room and garage. Off limit areas outside the home: gated right side section and locked storage shed. In the outdoor area LPA observed that the gazebo had chipped and broken in several places with exposed nails. LPA also observed several cobwebs on the play structure. LPA advised Licensee to maintain children's areas and equipment in good repair so it is safe for children to use. Licensee stated that she will fix the gazebo and outdoor area prior to taking children outdoors.
