Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Saraliz Velando, made an unannounced 10-day initial visit to deliver the findings of a complaint investigation initiated on 2/29/24. LPA Velando toured the home and there were 6 children in care. The Department investigated the allegation that Licensee did not ensure that a firearm was properly stored. Interviews were conducted with licensee, law enforcement, and pertinent legal documentation was also reviewed. The day of the incident on 10/11/23, there was an unsecured and loaded firearm discovered in an off-limits area. While there were no children present at the time of discovery, there were at least 2 children in care earlier that day and it is unclear how long the loaded firearm was there. Based on the information received by the department, the licensee did not comply with Title 22 regulation section 102417(g)(4)(A) Operation of a Family Child Care Home. Type A Violation was cited. Refer to the next page LIC 809-D for deficiency citation.
