102423(a)(2) · Personal Rights (a) Each child receiving services from a family child care home shall have certain rights that shall not be waived or abridged by the licensee regardless of consent or authorization from the child's authorized representative. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following: (2) To receive safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations, furnishings, and equipment.

Deficient Practice Statement Based on observations, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. During the inspection, several items were observed placed against the pool’s mesh fencing, including multiple plants and a trellis. According to the licensee, this area of the backyard did not appear this way when her daycare license was first issued in 9/24/2021, nor during her previous annual inspection on September 7, 2023. The plants and trellis obstruct the clear view of the pool. From the dining room, a sliding door leads to a sunroom/patio which has an additional door providing access to the pool area. Although these doors are equipped with alarms, they were found to be disarmed and nonfunctional at the time of the inspection. LPA Hernandez requested that the licensee test the alarms; however, they failed to activate. This condition would allow daycare children to access the backyard and pool area without the licensee’s knowledge. This poses an immediate risk to the health and safety to children in care.
