25 | On 02/04/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection at Weihua Chen’s family childcare home, which operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. LPA toured the indoor and outdoor areas with the licensee, took a census of children, and noted the presence of the licensee’s assistant.
The accessible areas for daycare children include the living room, dining room, hallway restroom, and backyard. The remainder of the home is off-limits and secured with child safety devices. As this is a two-story home, a safety gate is required at the bottom of the stairs when children are present.
LPA confirmed the facility sketch matches the accessible areas. No in-ground pools were observed however a small wading pool was noted, propped empty against the fence; LPA provided guidance on safe water play practices. Additionally, LPA discussed new pool safety requirements under AB 2866, effective 01/01/2025, and informed the licensee that a Provider Information Notice (PIN) was issued on 01/06/2025 - PIN 25-01 CCP.
The licensee confirmed no firearms or ammunition are on-site. Poisons are stored in a locked area, and hazardous materials are inaccessible. The home’s fireplace is screened and unused during daycare hours. LPA observed a functional fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector, along with adequate heating and ventilation. Safe toys and play equipment were present, and the fenced backyard was hazard-free. LPA verified a working telephone and confirmed the licensee’s phone number is (415) 919-9076.
