25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paul Petersen conducted a random annual site inspection for this facility at 1245. LPA met with licensee, Meshelle Keel. Also present at the time of this inspection were licensee's mother, Velma Smith, and two preschool age children in care. All adults present are background cleared and associated to this facility. The facility is within ratio and capacity and children are being supervised.
All areas of the home on limits to children in care were toured for a health and safety inspection. The on limits areas are the main childcare room, the children's nap room and the children's bathroom. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by closed doors or child safety gating and visual supervision. The home is clean and organized with available heating and ventilation for comfort. There is a working carbon monoxide detector, working fire alarm and fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher. Per licensee there are no firearms present or stored on the premises.
There are age appropriate furnishings, play items and equipment, including infant sleeping equipment, which appear free of sharp/broken pieces. The Safe Sleep Awareness Campaign PIN packet was provided and reviewed.
