On 01/27/2025 at 1:45pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jialing “Julianne” Zhu met with licensee Oscar Corona Heredia for an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA provided licensee a copy of the Entrance Checklist (LIC 126). The facility is a single-story duplex. The duplex next door is also a licensed child care facility, and the two facilities share parts of the outdoor spaces. Licensee is aware and ensures the children between the two facilities do not comingle. The home was toured to conduct a Health and Safety Inspection in the on-limits areas only. The facility’s current hours of operation are Monday - Friday from 8:00am - 5:00pm.

Ratio/Capacity: The facility operates as a large Family Child Care Home (FCCH) licensed with a capacity of 14 children. At the time of the inspection, there were eight (8) children (5 infants ages 0-24 months and 3 preschool-age) in care. One (1) fingerprint-cleared assistant was present. A large FCCH when there are 12 or less children can have a maximum of 4 infants. Since there are 5 infants present at the time of the inspection, the licensee is out-of-ratio.

On-limit Areas (accessible by children in care): The on-limit areas are the entire front yard (primary day care space), enclosed patio, play room, bathroom, and living room (used mainly as walkthrough to access the bathroom). The isolation area is the living room. When a child shows signs of illness, he/she will be separated from other children here. The inside of the home is observed to be clean and orderly, with central heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. LPA observed there are ample safe and age-appropriate toys, play equipment and materials. All toxins, cleaning products, and hazardous materials have been made inaccessible to the children.

The outdoor play area is the front yard, which is completely fenced with visual supervision. The outdoor play area is free from defects or dangerous conditions. There is an ample supply of age-appropriate toys and activities available for children, and they are in good condition. There is ample shade available, and gates are locked at all times while children are in the backyard. There are no pools, hot tubs, or similar bodies of water on premises. Page 1 of 3. See LIC 809C.
