On 2/20/2026 at 12:50pm, an annual random inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Laura Chavez, who met with licensee Evangelina Aguilar. At 1:05pm, the home was toured inside and outside. The licensee and 2 assistants were supervising 11 children and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The licensee understands that more than 24 hour care to one child at one time is not allowed. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home is the second floor and the garage, and were made inaccessible by a baby gate placed at the bottom of the stairs, and a lock on the garage door. The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area, and it is fully fenced. There is an in-ground pool in the back yard. The pool is fully fenced with 5' mesh fencing and is compliant with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International Standard F2286, and has an access gate that opens away from the pool and is self-closing with a self-latching, key lockable device placed no lower than 60 inches above the ground . LPA observed a rescue pole with a body hook with a minimum fixed length of 12 feet and a life ring measuring more than 17 inches and labeled as approved by the United States Coast Guard. The pool alarm was observed in the pool and tested. The licensee made available the documentation that establishes that the pool alarm is compliant with ASTM International Standard F2208. LPA reviewed the licensee's log showing the daily drowning prevention inspections. Five children's records were reviewed at 3:02pm. Three staff records were reviewed at 1:29pm. There are currently 4 adults living in the home. The following deficiencies were cited: CCR 102417(g)(9)(A) - a review of the licensee's documentation of the Fire & Disaster Drill indicates a drill has not been conducted within the last 6 months.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
