25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson conducted an unannounced annual inspection for a large family childcare facility at the above home on 06/11/2025 at 9:00 AM. LPA met with Licensee Alma Quiroz, who guided LPA on a tour of the home. There were 11 children present with Licensee Quiroz along with two assistants when LPA arrived. A fire clearance for a large family child care was approved on 10/10/2017 by Riverside Fire Department.
The facility operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day. Certain areas are off-limits, including second floor, kitchen, living room, laundry room and garage. The facility is licensed as a large Family Child Care Home (FCCH) with a maximum capacity of fourteen children and is operating within the capacity of the license.
During the inspection, LPA observed the Licensee to be responsive and aware of where the children were at all times. A working cell phone telephone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. Two fully charged fire extinguishers (2A:10BC) were observed, along with a functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector, both of which were tested by the Licensee. The fireplace is properly screened to prevent access by children, and all hazardous items, including toxins, are stored securely and are inaccessible to children. No weapons are present, and Licensee Quiroz understands that all firearms, weapons, and ammunition must be locked separately and made inaccessible as per Title 22 Regulations. Stairs are barricaded with a baby gate when children are in care.
The facility provides clean, safe, and age-appropriate toys for children. A current roster is on file, and required postings, including the Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Notification of Parent’s Rights, are displayed. Fire and disaster drill documentation is maintained, and the last drill was conducted on May 22, 2025.
