102417(a) · On 11/4/24, LPA received email that the pool gate was fixed. On 11/14/24 LPAs conducted a visit to ensure compliance with Title 22 Regulations Section 102417(a) / Operation of A Family Child Care Home. LPAs observed the gate in front of the pool was raised to 5ft. There is another gate to the left of the raised gate that is also 5ft, opens away from the body of water and is self latching and self closing. The raised gate does not hinder the view of the pool. The Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00. Exit interview was conducted with Elsa Arias and Appeals Rights provided.
