During the inspection, no swimming pools or other bodies of water were observed on the premises. LPA advised licensee of the new pool safety requirements under AB 2866, effective 01/01/2025, which mandate compliance with the Swimming Pool Safety Act as outlined in Health and Safety Code Section 1596.814. A Provider Information Notice (PIN) with further details will be issued.

The licensee confirmed that no firearms or ammunition are kept on the premises. All poisons are stored in a locked area, and no hazardous materials, such as cleaning compounds or medication, were observed to be accessible to children. The home’s fireplace, located in the living room, is screened with a metal/glass screen and will not be in use during daycare hours.

LPA observed that the home is equipped with a working fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector. Adequate heating and ventilation were also noted for the safety and comfort of the children. Since the home is a two-level property, stairs are gated when children under five years old are present. Safe toys and play equipment were observed, and the backyard play area is fenced and free from hazards. LPA confirmed that the home has working telephone service, and the licensee’s phone number was verified as (209) 544-2013.
