On 07/08/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ranita Richmond made an unannounced visit to the Vera Family Child Care Home to conduct the Annual 1 year Required Inspection. LPA was greeted by Licensee Veronica Vera. LPA observed 10 children in care, being supervised and cared for appropriately by the Licensee and three fingerprint cleared assistants/ staff. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:30a – 5:30p. Licensee provides meals and water.

LPA Richmond toured the home inside and outside for a Health and Safety inspection. The home is neat and clean with heating and ventilation for safety and comfort.

LPA observed the single family home to have a Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, 3 bedrooms, den, 2 bathrooms, and gated covered yard. Licensee utilizes the den as the classroom and bathroom 2 for the day-care. The parents enter the daycare from the side gate to the left of the front entrance of the home. The classroom is used for daily activities, eating and napping. The children also eat in the "welcome area" which is located on the side of the home outside.

The ON LIMIT AREAS are as follows: den (daycare activity area, eating area, and napping room) bathroom #2, and covered yard area.

OFF-LIMIT AREAS are as follows: bedrooms #1, #2, and #3, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom #1, all of which are inaccessible to children in care by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.

LPA Richmond observed a fully charged 2-A:10:B:C fire extinguisher, a working carbon monoxide/smoke detector combo in the den area.

There are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medication and other hazardous items are made inaccessible to children in care by locked cabinets and doors.
