Licensee states there are currently 12 children enrolled. Children’s files were reviewed.

The children mainly use the backyard for day care. The children also have access to the bathroom, living room, dining area, kitchen, and dramatic play room. The off-limits areas will be inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision. The isolation area is in the living room away from other children. The LPA toured all areas used by children.

There were no fireplaces or open face heaters accessible to children. There were safe toys, play equipment, and materials observed for children. There is a safety gate at the bottom of the stairs. There is a working telephone in the home. All poisons, cleaning solutions, medications, and other items that pose a danger to children are inaccessible during this visit.
