During the first and second inspection LPA observed Licensee and staff practicing proper PPE along with the children in care. Licensee guided LPA thru the facility covid-19 protocol in accordance to CDC, DPH and CCL requirements for family childcare home.

It is possible that child remove their mask at pick up once outside the facility in the care of their parent. However, Licensee and Licensee assistant are taking the proper action to protect the children, of further covid-19 outbreak at the facility. Regarding this allegation that facility staff and children are not practicing proper PPE, and day care children diagnosed with covid based on the evidence obtained during the investigation through interviews with staff, parents and children, observation, and record review, the evidence does not support the above allegation.
