Licensee stated there are presently 5 adults living in the home, and no minor children. Day care operating hours are 6:00a.m. to 5:00p.m., Monday through Friday.

The outdoor play area is free from hazards. There is no fireplace. There is a heater that is screened and inaccessible to children in care in living room. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were stored out of the reach of children in garage. 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 2 fire extinguisher (2A10BC) in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards.
