25 | On January 20, 2026, at 8:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an Unannounced Annual/Random Inspection and met with licensee Xochitl Gonzalez. LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit and conducted a health and safety inspection, touring the facility both inside and outside. Present during the inspection were the licensee’s three fingerprint-cleared assistants and her 16-year-old school-age son. Also present were five children in care, including one school-age child, one preschool-age child, and three infants. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The facility is a single-story home, owned by the licensee, consisting of three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, dining room, kitchen, backyard, and an attached garage. The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained, and is equipped with centralized heating and ventilation to ensure the safety and comfort of children. The kitchen and hallway areas are secured with gate barriers to prevent children from freely accessing those areas. Per the licensee, there are no firearms or weapons of any kind in the home.
On-limits areas include the kitchen, living and dining room, backyard, and hallway bathroom.
The designated isolation area is the hallway area, away from other children in care.
Off-limits areas include all bedrooms, the shed in the side yard, and the garage. These areas are made inaccessible to children by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.
At 8:15 AM, LPA inspected the backyard area and confirmed that no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area includes play equipment and outdoor furniture, such as benches, tables and chairs, sandboxes, hoop courts, crawling tunnels, playhouses, a play kitchen, workstations, and building blocks. The backyard is fully fenced and free from defects or dangerous conditions. A large awning provides shade and protection from harmful sunlight during outdoor play.
At 8:40 AM, LPA asked the licensee if she transports children in care. The licensee stated that she continues to provide transportation. LPA reviewed the driver’s license on file and verified that it is current.
