Correction check·May 7, 2025

On January 29, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paul Garcia, conducted an unannounced Plan of Correction Inspection and was met by Licensee, Myra Ramirez . A census was taken, and LPA toured the facility inside and outside. The purpose for the inspection was to determine if corrections in the backyard pertaining to compliance with AB2866 - The Pool Safety Act have been implemented. Licensee recently has had a new pool mesh fence installed. The backyard is currently off-limits to day-care children per Annual Random Inspection that took place on March 27, 2025. LPA inspected the new mesh pool fence and determined it is out of compliance due to needing replacement netting in two (2) sections of the perimeter. The damage to the two (2) sections was caused by a rabbit that has been removed from the property by licensee. Also observed was the failure of the pool mesh gate\342\200\231s ability to self-latch on its own requiring a minor adjustment. Licensee has arranged warranty repairs to be completed with the licensed pool company. LPA determined that the following additional repairs or adjustments need to be corrected before the children\342\200\231s back yard play area is approved for use and to be in compliance with AB2866. Additional corrections shall be completed as follows: \302\267 Licensee will adjust the pool gate to ensure the pool mesh gate\342\200\231s ability to self-latch on its own. \302\267 Licensee will repair two (2) sections of the mesh pool fence with openings large enough for a child to potentially gaining access to the body of water. \302\267 Licensee will minimize the vertical clearance from the ground to the bottom of the enclosure to a maximum of (2) two inches or less. Licensee is to submit photographs of corrections to case carrying LPA when all work has been completed. LPA then will return to conduct a physical inspection to ensure compliance with AB2866 and to approve or deny the use of the area for children in care. In the meantime, the back yard play area shall remain off limits . Note: The door leading to the backyard has an electronic door alarm for additional safety for children in care. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, no deficiency cited. An exit interview conducted with Licensee, Myra Ramirez and a copy of this report was provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit Form (LIC 9213) was posted on parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were discussed and issued.
