A case management inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother in response to an increase capacity application received by the Department on 12/20/2024 from Licensees, Maricruz Aguilar & Juan Menera. The licensees are requesting a capacity of 14. The licensees stated they clearly understand the maximum number of children for whom care can be provided and the limitations on the number of infants (birth to age 2) that may be cared for and when two of the children in care must be school aged, and when an assistant provider must be present. A review of staff records indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The facility was toured inside and outside. The facility\342\200\231s operating hours are midnight - 11:00pm, Monday - Friday. Licensees understand that 24-hour consecutive care is prohibited.

The home was observed to be clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The children's bathroom is free of toxins. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children.
