25 | At 12:40pm on 10/28/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with licensee Nanci Castro Mirabel for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA observed a total census of 5 infants.
Licensee guided LPA on a tour of the facility, and a health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Prior to inspection, off-limits areas included all upstairs, garage, and front dock. During the visit, licensee stated that the front deck will now be used as on-limit area. A gate keeps the front stairs inaccessible from the deck, and licensee understands that this gate must always be closed whenever children are present on the deck. Updated off-limit areas include: all upstairs and garage. Licensee acknowledged that children must never enter these areas.
LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Per Licensee, there are no weapons in the home and LPA did not observe bodies of water on the property. The stairway and fireplaces are barricaded to prevent access by children. Outdoor play space is unfenced, and licensee acknowledges that 100% supervision is required in a all unfenced outdoor areas.
Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
