25 | An inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Port. A review of adult records indicates that all facility residents, staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are presently 5 adults (including the licensee) living in the home. During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. There were no children in care today. Operating hours are 5:30 AM to 12:00 AM, Monday through Friday.
The floor plan was verified. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of baby gates. The staircase is off limits, entire upstairs and garage are off limits. The children use the backyard as the outdoor play area, and it is completely fenced. The outdoor play area is free from hazards. The children also use the park located behind the facility, Glen View Park. There are no bodies of water on site. There is a fireplace in the family room screened by a fireplace cover and inaccessible to children in care. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children. The licensee stated poisonous items are not stored on site, and none were observed during today's inspection. The home provides safe toys, equipment, and materials. There is a working carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. The licensee has a current roster of children in care. The licensee stated there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the home and none were observed during today's visit. LPA verified there is a working telephone (land line) service at the facility.

The licensee understands when temporarily absent from the home, she must arrange for a qualified substitute adult to care for and supervise children in her absence.
