What the inspector wrote
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bardo Baluyot conducted an unannounced required annual inspection on this date. Upon arrival LPA Baluyot met with Licensees Daisy Soto & Rosalind Jones. LPA conducted a COVID risk assessment prior to entering the home. Licensee Jones stated that they provide care for children ages 4 months to 11 years old. Day care hours are Monday - Friday, 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM. Residents that live in the home include both Licensees and 3 adults who are fingerprint cleared.
This is a one story home that consists of 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining area, and back yard with a detached garage. The detached garage has been converted to a room to provide care for children. The day care takes place in the living room, 1 bedroom, dining room area, 1 bathroom, the detached garage, and the backyard. Per Licensees and LPA's own observation, most activities except for eating and napping are done outside or in the converted garage. The kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom are off limits. LPA observed the backyard had an HVAC unit that has been fenced off to prevent access.

The home was inspected for safety, comfort, cleanliness, telephone service, heating and ventilation, inaccessibility to poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and hazardous items that can pose a danger to children.
The back yard area is adequately fenced and there is
