The home is a one story home. The home consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, unfenced front yard, fenced back yard and converted garage. The converted garage is used for a play room and is the main area of the day care. Licensee states there are no firearms. The isolation area is the second bedroom. There are no pools, spas, hot tubs, fish ponds or similar bodies of water. All poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds and medications are stored in areas which are inaccessible to children. There are no fireplaces or open face heaters accessible to children. The home has a 2A10BC fire extinguisher and a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector. Fire and Disaster Drills are conducted every week due to the licensee going to a movement class with the children, the last one was 01/21/2020. Outdoor play area was inspected for hazards and found to be in compliance and free from any. A chicken coop is in the backyard with two chickens.
