On 11/14/2024, at 2:25 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joaquin Mendez conducted an unannounced Required 3year Annual Inspection of the Aguirre Family Childcare Home. LPA met with Celia Aguirre, Licensee. The purpose of the visit was discussed with the Licensee and together we toured the inside and outside of the home.

The home is a three (3) bedroom and two (2) bathroom home. The main day care areas are the front living room, family room (furnished into daycare), hallway bathroom and backyard play area.

LPA observed a gate to the back entrance to the kitchen secure. At 2:35PM LPA observed the front gate to the kitchen missing, making the kitchen, and dining room accessible. LPA inspected the kitchen in its entirety and did not find anything toxic or hazardous accessible to children.
· Knives were stored in an elevated cabinet inaccessible to children.
· LPA observed the cleaning supplies and chemicals in a locked elevated cabinet in the hall just outside the kitchen, inaccessible.

· LPA observed the day care area to be clean and orderly.
