Upon arrival LPA observed the Licensee and cleared assistant caring for five children (two infants and three preschool). There are five children enrolled attending the facility. All residents associated with the facility were noted.

At approximately 10:30am all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. This is a single story home which consists of three bedrooms and one bathroom. Areas used by the children include the living room, dining room, one bedroom, the bathroom and the backyard (fenced). Per Licensee, areas off limits to children and parents include: garage, two bedrooms, the front yard. At 11:00am LPA provided an Entrance form.

Areas accessible to children were inspected to ensure that they are clean and orderly with ventilation and heating for the safety of the children. Between 10:35am and 11:00am LPA observed age appropriate toys and equipment inside the home and the backyard. At 11:00am LPA observed items such as motor oil and tools that were semi-inaccessible on the side of a deck behind the garage. LPA informed Licensee Sawai that these items need to be more inaccessible or removed. Licensee indicated she may install a gate or prevent access. LPA advised Licensee to always ensure careful supervision for outdoor play equipment (swing and slide). The backyard is surrounded by fencing approximately 5 feet high and there is plenty of shade for hot days. There is a working phone maintained in the home. LPA observed accessible large dog that appeared friendly. LPA advised Licensee to use greater supervision as dogs can be unpredictable around children. LPA observed detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other items which can pose a danger to children to be inaccessible (in inaccessible areas or out of children's reach). LPA informed Licensee that poisons must be locked with a key or combination lock.
