25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection for Diaz Family Childcare (FCCH) on March 28, 2025, at 11:30AM. LPA met with Licensee (LIC) Kailie Diaz, who guided LPA on a tour of the home indoors and outdoors. Upon arrival, seven children were present, including two infants and one assistant. Around noon, one preschool child went home and the assistant departed.
The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00PM. Certain areas are off-limits, listed as the master bedroom, master bathroom, bedroom 2 and bedroom 3, laundry room, attached garage and side yard. Facility is licensed as a small FCCH at this time, with a maximum capacity of eight (8) children and is operating within the licensed capacity of the license. Licensee is pending a capacity increase, and will be later determined pending city fire clearance. An assistant was present during today’s inspection and appropriate ratios were maintained. During the inspection, LPA observed children finishing up lunch, playing with their peers and transitioning to nap and waking back up.
A working cell phone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. A fully charged fire extinguisher (2A:10BC) was observed in the daycare area, not mounted at this time. LPA observed both an operational smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector, mounted in the hallway outside of the restroom. The fireplace is properly screened in the daycare and family room, with a glass cover and metal mesh gates. LPA confirmed operating child safety locks in kitchen and bathroom, making hazardous items, including toxins, and medications locked and inaccessible to children. LPA encouraged child safety doorknob handles for the restroom and laundry room door. LPA reminded licensee that all poisons and cleaning compounds deemed hazardous must be locked by a key.
The facility provides a variety of age-appropriate toys for children. A current roster was available for review and up to date. LPA confirmed the required postings, including the Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, License and Notification of Parent’s Rights, are displayed in the entry daycare room. Fire and disaster drill documentation is maintained, with the last drill was conducted and recorded in December 2024.
