25 | An announced pre-licensing inspection was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother. Applicant Margaret (Victoria) Lino-Martinez (A1) is requesting a license for a capacity of eight children with services available Monday through Friday, 06:20am through 5:30pm, year round. Parents and children will enter the facility using the front door of the home. A1 stated they understand consecutive, 24-hour care is prohibited and that childcare must be provided in the "primary" residence of the applicant. There are currently two adults living in the home. Applicant was advised that all adults residing or working at the facility must have a criminal background clearance on file with CCLD. All minors residing in the home must be fingerprinted within 30 days of reaching their 18th birthday. The applicant is aware of the immediate $100 per day civil penalty for adults working or residing in the home without a criminal record clearance. During the pre-licensing inspection, LPA provided technical assistance to A1 related to COVID-19 guidelines and self-assessment.
The residence is a three bedroom, two bathroom, one story home. The floor and yard plans have been verified. Children in care will have access to the living room, dining room, kitchen, one bathroom, one bedroom and the backyard which is completely fenced. The "off limits" areas include the garage, laundry room, two bedrooms, and one bathroom, and outdoor shed marked as off-limits on the facility sketch. These areas were observed to be made inaccessible by door knob slip covers, locks, and/or child gates. There is a trampoline located in the backyard. The applicant understands if the trampoline is used during day care hours, it must be used according to the manufacturer’s recommended usage and the applicant must always provide/ensure supervision to the child on the trampoline and to the remaining children in care. Parents will be required to sign insurance affidavits if the provider does not plan to purchase additional child care liability insurance. Proof of control of property is on file. The home appears to be clean and orderly at this time, and A1 reported it will remain so during child care hours. There is a working telephone in the home. The sharp knives, cleaning supplies, medications, and other potential hazards are stored out of the reach of children.
