LPA met with licensee Maria Cruz De Segovia. The conversation with licensee was held in Spanish. The purpose of today's inspection was to go over regulations regarding smoking in the facility and reporting requirements. During the case management inspection, LPA spoke at length with the licensee and ensured that licensee understood that smoking or vaping is not allowed in a licensed childcare home as she had previously disclosed that her adult daughter uses electronic cigarettes. Licensee agreed to enforce this rule. LPA also discussed reporting requirements with licensee and went over how to complete the Unusual Incident Report, LIC 624B (SP). LPA gave a copy of this form to the licensee. LPA also observed a small hole in the dining room closet door that was previously broken by licensee\342\200\231s adult daughter.
