25 | On 2/15/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Hanson Leong, made an unannounced annual visit to the Edina Morales’s day-care facility. The LPA was granted entry by the Licensee, Edina Morales. The LPA explained the purpose of the visit to the licensee. All the individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare facility. The LPA observed the licensee and her husband supervising four infants, five preschool age children, and two school-age children. Children's capacity and ratio requirements were observed to be in compliance. During the visit, there was a dog present in the facility.
Day-care Areas: Living Room (Playroom), Dining Area, Backyard Area #1 and Bathroom #1
Off-limit Areas: Kitchen, Bedroom #1, Bedroom #2 and Backyard Area #2. All off-limit areas are secured with a locked door or a safety gate. The licensee understands that off-limits areas may not be used for childcare during business hours.
The LPA and the licensee both performed careful inspections of the day-care facilities to look for any potential health and safety hazards. Toys and equipment that are suitable for children of the proper age range are provided at the day-care. The building has sufficient lighting and ventilation, and it is free of any defects or conditions that could put the children in its care in risk. The facility is equipped with a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of injuries. The day-care facility is equipped with a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher that is always ready for use. Every garbage can and power outlet has been covered. Products for cleaning and washing, detergents, and any other materials that could put children in danger are stored out of their reach. The LPA did not find any walkers, bouncers, or other comparable objects during its inspection.
There are reportedly no firearms or other weapons on the premises, as stated by the licensee.
The LPA observed that the facility has two fish tanks, and that each of the fish tanks has a cover and is inaccessible to the children. ***See Page 2 for continuation***
