This One-story home was inspected as follows: living room area (day care), kitchen, back yard area (day care), and one bathroom. All poisons are kept above the washing machine area in the back yard, which is inaccessible to children in care via locked doors. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medication and other hazardous items are made inaccessible. Medication is kept in a first aide kit in a high cabinet in the living room out of reach of children. There is a working fire extinguisher (2A-10BC), smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and adequate heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. Safe toys and play equipment are observed. LPA confirmed the available cell phone number is 3106587054. The indoor play area is in the living room, and back yard area. The children reside here while in care. There are locked doors, child safety gates, and child safety knobs keeping the children in the day care area. There are cots for children in the day care . Capacity as specified on the license is being maintained. Licensee’s pediatric CPR/First Aid expires on 6/26/2026.
