Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Amy Strother and Sebastian Phouthavong arrived to the facility unannounced on 06/09/22 at 12:30pm and met with Licensee Victoria Lino-Martinez (L1). Upon entering the facility, LPA Strother observed 5 children, Child 1 - Child 5 (C1-C5) in the living room area and 1 child, Child 6 (C6) with L1 on the changing table in the hallway. Just after arriving to the facility C1 was picked up and went home. L1 requested that LPAs have a seat on the couch while she got the children their lunch. LPA Strother requested to know the ages of the children in care. L1 pointed to the space on the couch next to LPA Strother stating "That is (name), Child 7 (C7) and they are under 2 years old." LPA looked to the space L1 pointed to and observed a pile of multiple blankets to the right. LPA pulled the blankets back and observed an infant asleep, laying on their back. LPA asked L1 if there was a pack and play available for C7. L1 stated that the pack and plays are in the other room and that she just placed C7 there because LPA Strother called from outside and said she was coming in. LPA requested that L1 move C7 to the pack and play, to which L1 complied. L1 placed C7 in the pack and play in the on-limits bedroom. LPA requested and received the facility roster from L1. L1 provided LPA with the roster. Upon review of the roster, LPA observed that 4 of the children in care are under the age of 2, L1 was operating above the ratio and capacity requirements.
