25 | A required annual inspection of the facility was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA). During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. Licensee Vanessa Escobar (L1) and Staff Jose Escobar (S1) were present in the home and supervising 12 children, of which four were infants, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday - Friday, year round, with rare, occasional weekend care provided. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The children will have access to the kitchen, living room, family room, three bedrooms, hall bathroom, side patio, dining room, and a large, fully fenced backyard. The garage, side yard, hall closets, and primary en suite bathroom are "off limits" to the day care children. These areas have been made inaccessible by door locks, key locks, and locked gates. The home was observed to be clean and orderly and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. L1's pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed and expire in 12/2021 Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children in the locked garage and upper kitchen cupboard. L1 stated there are no poisons but if there were any poisons they would be kept in a high cupboard in the key locked garage. The home has heaters for heat and fans for cooling. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current. The licensee has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months, documented most recently in 10/2021. L1 stated there are no guns on premises, and none were observed during this inspection.
