A case management inspection was conducted to the facility by Licensing Program (LPA) Elpidia Hernandez Torres in response to an increase capacity application received by the Department on 04/11/2023. The licensee is requesting a capacity of 14. A review of staff records indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The facility is toured inside and outside. The facility’s operating hours are 08:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday.

The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are, the main bedroom in the home, the laundry room and were made inaccessible by means of door knob slip covers and child safety gates. The home was observed to be clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The children's bathroom is free of toxins. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher in the home. The licensee has a current roster of children in care and has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months. There are no firearms in the home, and none were observed during the inspection. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play and it is fully fenced. There are no bodies of water on the property. All licensing reports are public information and must be made available upon request for at least three years. Pediatric CPR and Pediatric First Aid cards expire in 2023. The Petaluma Fire Department inspected and granted the fire clearance on 05/01/2023.

The increase capacity to 14, as a Large Family Child Care Home is granted as of today, 05/31/23.
