Pre-licensing visit·April 18, 2025

On 04/18/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Raymond Moorehead and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Aaron Ross arrived at the facility to conduct a follow up pre-licensing inspection from the last visit that was conducted on 04/07/2025. This follow up inspection is in regards to the family child care's in-ground pool and fountain. Present during this inspection was Applicant Yifan Zhou. LPA and LPM toured the facility, inside and out and the following was observed and/or discussed: During today's visit, LPA and LPM observed two different bodies of water at the home. The first body of water that was observed was a fountain that was measured to be 1 foot and 11 inches deep. The fountain was observed in the backyard. The fountain was observed to have a body of water, and is surrounded by a wooden fence that was measured at 2 feet and 9 inches. The second body of water that was observed during today's visit was a in-ground pool that is located on the left side of the backyard (if you are facing home from the front) ; and leads to the front of the house/driveway area. The front of the in-ground pool is fenced off by a wrought iron gate that was measured to be 5 feet. Please note that the wrought iron fence did not self close or self latch. Other than the wrought iron fence, the pool is surrounded by a brick wall that measures to be at minimum of 5 feet and 8 inches in parts. LPA/LPM observed the outer side of the brick wall surface to have protrusions that would serve as as handholds or footholds that could enable a child to climb over. If you are facing the pool from the wrought iron fence's entrance, the left side of the pool area is protected by a brick wall. The brick wall obscures the pool from view, if you were on the outside of it. LPA and LPM reviewed Assembly Bill 2866 (Pool Safety) and PIN 25-01-CCP with Applicant Yifan Zhou. Applicant was informed that the following corrections must be made before licensure: 1.) Applicant's pool gate must be self closing and self latching. 2.) Applicant must ensure that the brick wall's outside surface is free of protrusions, that would serve as handholds or footholds that could enable a child to climb over. 3.) Applicant must obtain a rescue pole with a body hook and a minimum fixed length of 12 feet. 4.) Applicant must obtain a life ring with a minimum exterior diameter of 17 inches (and labeled as approved by the United Sates Coast Guard) and a rescue pole with a body hook and minimum fixed length of 12 feet. 5.) Applicant must also be prepared to perform a daily inspection of their drowning prevention safety features and safety equipment before opening the facility, and they must maintain a log of the inspections to be provided to the department upon request 6.) Applicant must ensure that the fountain comes into compliance. Applicant was advised that she may install a gate that is at least 5 feet in height, or ensure that the fountain does not hold any water. Once all corrections have been verified and management conducts a final review, the application for a Large Family Child Care Home will be submitted for approval with a maximum capacity of 12, or 14 with parent notification. Applicant advised that all corrections are due within 30 days or the application may be withdrawn.
