25 | At 3:00 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with applicant Nanci Castro Mirabel for the purpose of a prelicensing inspection. Applicant has requested a small Family Childcare License to serve up to eight children.
The facility is one-building, two story home consisting of an entrance sunroom, living room, kitchen, dining area, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage and front deck. Off limits areas will include all upstairs, which encompasses the three bedrooms and a bathroom, garage, and front deck. Hours of operation are 9:AM-5:00PM, Monday thru Friday. Applicant understands she must be present at the facility for 80% of operating hours. Applicant understands that their own children under 10 years old count toward the ratio.
All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Licensee was
reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
LPA and Applicant toured the entire facility. LPA observed functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a 2A10-BC fire extinguisher. LPA reviewed the required postings with applicant. Cleaning materials, hazardous items, and medications are all stored inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water on the property. Applicant understands that an inspection by the department must be made prior to making an off limits area on limits. Applicant stated that there are neither firearms nor poisons in the facility. Stairs are properly fenced. There is a heater in the living room with the facade of a fireplace, but does not reach temperatures requiring it to be barricaded.
