25 | On 11/29/23 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Monica Mathur and Brindha Govindasamy conducted an Unannounced Required Inspection at Everstine Martin's Family Child Care Home. LPAs met with Licensee, Everstine Martin and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. Present in the home were Licensee and an Assistant. There were no daycare children present. LPAs spoke with Licensee's spouse over the phone who informed that they have not cared for daycare children since June 2023. Adults present/living in the home have Criminal Background Check Clearances.
INDOOR space was inspected. It is a two story home. Main house is located on the second level. Residential area on street level is the garage converted into living space.
LPAs reminded that when care is provided, the home should be child proof/ready with materials, toys, and play equipment. All detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, sharp objects and other similar items must be inaccessible to children. LPAs observed a fully charged fire extinguisher that meets State Fire Marshal standards.

OFF LIMIT AREAS: Rest of the home (Master bedroom, Bedroom/Bathroom downstairs)
FILE REVIEW: Licensee and Assistant files were reviewed. Both their Mandated Reporter Training and CPR/First Aid certification is expired.
The supervision of children was discussed, and Licensee understands she is the rpimary caregiver and that she must be present in the home during 80% of the operating hours and ensure children are supervised at all times. If no Assistant is present at a Large Family Child Care Home, then the licensee shall comply with the capacity requirements for a Small Family Child Care Home. |
