Facility-requested visit·July 3, 2024

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Alicia Mooberry and Portia Bowden conducted an unannounced case management inspection to the above facility to assess the inaccessibility to the above ground pool that the licensee want to install in the backyard. LPAs met with licensee, Antonia Jimenez and observed seven (7) children present including one infant. Also present was Assistant Liliana Rivas. LPA's inspected the home and the back yard where licensee wishes to install an above ground pool. LPAs observed the empty pool (18 ft x 48 in.). LPAs observed black steel fence is installed between the yard where the pool is located and the back door exit to the home. The height of the fence was measured and is less than 5 feet tall, the spaced between the rails is 4 inches. The gate leading to the pool is not consistently self closing nor self latching. There are other possible point of access to the back yard including side gate that leads to the front yard where children play. LPAs provided Technical Assistant and reviewed California Code of Regulations 102417(g)(5)(A(B) that requires licensee to ensure inaccessibility of pools or any such body of water to children in care. The licensee agrees NOT to fill the pool during daycare hours of operation until the required barriers have been installed. LPAs will conduct a follow up visit to ensure the health and safety of children in care and to ensure that Licensee is in compliance. No deficiencies are cited during this inspection. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview was conducted with Antonia Jimenez, Licensee.
