25 | On 05/09/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luisa Gavoutian, conducted an unannounced Annual Inspection. LPA was greeted by assistant, Staff 1, until Licensee Eloisa Solorio arrived at the home approximately 10 minutes later. Assistant, Staff 2, arrived at the home approximately five minutes after Licensee. Licensee accompanied LPA on a tour of the home, inside and outside, as shown on the facility sketches (LIC 999A) provided. Present during today’s inspection were five children. The areas of the home that are accessible to the daycare children are the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and fenced backyard. Licensee stated that one bedroom, which was licensed for use, is no longer being used and LPA observed the door to be closed and fitted with a doorknob spinner making it inaccessible to children. Licensee understands that she must notify the Department of any future plans to change an “off-limits” room to an area used to provide care and supervision. The facility sketch, LIC 999A, was updated, signed, and dated. “Off-limits” rooms are made inaccessible by doorknob spinners.
No pets were observed during today's inspection. There are no bodies of water in this home. Licensee stated there are no firearms in this home. No poisons were observed during the inspection. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medications and other hazardous items are inaccessible to children. There is no fireplace. There is a working fire extinguisher. LPA tested the smoke detector and carbon monoxide indicator, which were both in working condition. The home has adequate heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. There are no stairs in the home. Upon arrival, LPA observed an infant in a baby bouncer. LPA informed Licensee that baby bouncers are not allowed in family child care homes. Licensee removed the infant from the bouncer and removed the bouncer from the home. LPA discussed infant items permitted in Family Child Care Homes and left a visual handout. LPA observed that another handout provided to Licensee during a previous inspection indicating that baby bouncers are not allowed was posted on the wall near the parent board. LPA observed that two children were bringing their own infant formula to the facility stored in individual containers but were not labeled with the children's names. LPA advised that the containers should be labeled with the child's name. (Continued on LIC 809-C) |
