25 | An annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiriko Lynch. A review of staff records on 10/07/19 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances and/or exemptions. During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee and her assistant were supervising 13 children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicles. The facility’s operating hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday, and closed on holidays. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are: laundry room, storage room, woodshop, and backyard, and made inaccessible by locked doors and/or gates and fencing. The home is clean, orderly and comfortable. There are safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) are stored in inaccessible areas out of reach of children. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home, and LPA did not observe any. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The children use the front yard as an outdoor play area and it is fenced, and Licensee stated she and her assistant are always outside with the children. Three children's records were reviewed at 4:00 p.m. and required emergency information was observed to be on file. The Licensee is not providing Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to children in care. The Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed with the Licensee.
