Facility-requested visit·November 18, 2024

On November 18th, 2024, at approximately 1:20 PM, L icensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janet Gil conducted an unannounced, case management visit. LPA met with the licensee Elma E Reyes Vasquez and explained the purpose of the visit. Present during LPA's visit included the licensee, assistant, and 4 children (2 infants and 2 preschool age). Licensees requested to increase capacity from a small family child care home to a large family child care home. Capacity increase application was submitted to department. Per licensee Fire clearance approval has been obtained on November 12, 2024, however the department has no received any paperwork. Licensee Elma E Reyes Vasquez lives in home with spouse and her adult child. Licensee was reminded if children live in the home under 10 years old, they are counted towards overall capacity. All adults living and/or working in the home have fingerprint clearance on file. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Day Care Areas: Activities Room, Dining Area, Kitchen (walk-through only), Bedroom # 4 (napping room), Bathroom, and Backyard. Off-limit Area: Master Bedroom with Bathroom, Bedroom 2, Kitchen, Dining Room, and Garage. Home is equipped with a fully charged fire extinguisher, first aid kit and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. LPA observed a carbon monoxide detector in hallway near children's bathroom, which was in working condition. Capacity limits and ratios for a large family day care have been reviewed with the licensees on this date. LPA reminded licensees that an assistant must be present when operating as a large license. LPA reminded licensees when an assistant is not present, licensees must operate within capacity limits of a small family child care home. Continue on Page 2... Continued, Page 2... Because the licensee rents/leases the home, proof of landlord notification is required.
