Routine inspection·May 23, 2023

On 05/23/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ruby Ocegueda, conducted an unannounced Annual Required Inspection and was met by Licensee, Lorraine Anaya. Also present was Staff #2 (S2). Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM. LPA toured the home inside and outside and a census was taken. Current facility sketch reviewed and Licensee confirmed that the kitchen, one bathroom, living room and day care room (located near entry) are used for providing care and are accessible to children. All other rooms are off-limits and made inaccessible by use of door knob safety covers and chain door guard. The play yard and swimming pool area was inspected. All three gates are self-latching and self-closing. Today, it was observed that there were 3 bedroom windows that have access to the pool. LPA will consult further with manager as this was possibly pre-licensed this way. Licensee stated she would ensure that a rod iron fence was added to make it compliant to Title 22 regulations and provide proof to the Department. LPA reminded licensee and assistant/husband that any gates should open away from the pool and that fencing had to be 5 ft high and the openings between each bar (if using rod iron fence) should be no more than 4 inches apart. The bedrooms doors have door knob safety covers and there were no day care children present. Licensee voluntarily wrote a statement indicating she would actually lock the bedroom doors during day care hours, while the fence was being placed as an extra safety measure. Licensee and LPA will be in communication as it pertains to the fence being built. Firearms and ammunition are stored and locked separately. No poisons were observed during the inspection. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medication and other hazardous items are made inaccessible. The fireplace located in the living room is made inaccessible by a glass door and will not be in use during daycare hours.
