Routine inspection (3-year)·January 2, 2024

On January 2, 2024 at 11 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA's) Susana Martinez and Aaliyah Zendejas conducted an unannounced Required- 3 Year inspection. LPA's met with licensee Rosa Andalon and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Licensee provided LPA's a tour of the home inside and out. There were three infant children in care at the time of the inspection and no other adults in the home. LPA observed required licensing documents mounted on the wall in the main day-care room. Last disaster and fire drill was conducted on 2/15/2023. Licensee was reminded that drills need to be conducted and documented every 6 months. Fire extinguisher 2A10BC mounted on the wall inside the laundry room was last serviced 10/10/2022. Licensee states that was incorrect, LPA's asked for proof of service in 2023. Licensee could not provide proof of service in 2023. Fire and carbon monoxide detectors were observed throughout the home. Alarms were not tested due to napping children. Children in care have access to three rooms, one restroom, kitchen, living room, and back yard. Fire place inside the living room is screened to prevent access by children. Kitchen knives are being kept in a cabinet above counters to keep out of reach from children. Children have access to toys that are age-appropriate inside and outside of the home. During the inspection LPA's observed one child sleeping in a room with the door closed, Licensee stated she just closed the door as soon LPA's arrived. At 11:09 AM LPA's found another child sleeping behind a closed door. LPA's reminded Licensee that doors need to be maintained open at all time when children are sleeping. The outdoor space is enclosed and has a door leading to the rest of the backyard. LPA's observed the door to be open and therefore proceeded to inspect the entire backyard. LPA's asked Licensee if there were any pools, jacuzzis, or other bodies of water in the home. Licensee stated no. LPA's observed a jacuzzi in the backyard. Licensee showed LPA's the hardcover on the jacuzzi. During the tour, LPA did not observe any hazards/toxins items accessible to children in care.
