LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and toured the facility inside and out to conduct a Health and Safety inspection. There were no children present during this inspection. The facility operates from Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. This two story home consists of one bedroom, one bath, kitchen, back and side-yard, and childcare room. This home was clean and orderly, with heating and ventilation for the safety and comfort. There's a gate at the bottom of the stairs to prevent children five years or younger access to the upper floor. LPA asked the licensee does she transports children and the licensee stated that she does transport children and provided me a copy of her current California Driver's Licensee. Per licensee, there are no weapons of any kind in the home including firearms. During the inspection, LPA checked the cabinets in the on limit areas which includes the kitchen, living and dining room, hallway bathroom, downstairs bedroom, childcare room, and any other cabinets or drawers accessible to children in care and did not observe any hazardous materials or toxins during today\342\200\231s inspection.

The off-limits will be made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision. See 809-C for continuance. LPA tested the dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the living room and found it to be functioning properly. The home has a working telephone, a first aid kit, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher which meets standards established by the State Fire Marshal. This home has a fireplace that's screened/blocked to prevent access by children in the living room.

The OUTDOOR PLAY area is the fully fenced backyard and LPA observed that it is free from defects or dangerous conditions. During today's inspection, there are no play structures which are required to be anchored. There are ample age-appropriate toys that appear to be safe and in good condition. There's an awning and trees on the left side-yard for children in care to use for shade while at play. The licensee also has plants and fruit trees in the middle section of the backyard for children to explore.
