Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced annual/random inspection and was met by Licensee Samantha Cabadas. Also present during the inspection was the licensee\342\200\231s husband. The facility provides daycare services Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. LPA toured the home both inside and outside and conducted a census of children in care. A review of the current facility sketch confirmed that the hallway bathroom, living room, and dining area are designated for child care and are accessible to children. All other areas of the home are off-limits and were observed to be made inaccessible through the use of baby gates and doorknob covers. Licensee Samantha Cabadas stated that there are three dogs on the premises; however, they are kept outside and do not come into contact with children while care is being provided. LPA reminded the licensee that in the event of any pet-related injury, she would be responsible for her pets' actions. There is no swimming pool or other bodies of water on the premises. LPA discussed new pool safety requirements under Assembly Bill 2866, effective January 1, 2025, and informed the licensee that Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-01-CCP was issued on January 6, 2025, outlining the new requirements. The licensee stated there are no firearms or ammunition in the home. All poisons are stored in locked areas, and none were observed during the inspection. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other hazardous items were observed to be stored in a manner that makes them inaccessible to children.
