25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kelly Ferrara and Mai Lor met with Licensee Jennifer Stuart, for an unannounced random annual inspection of her large family child care home. All adults who live or work in the home have obtained a criminal record clearance. Hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:45 AM- 11:35 AM. Licensee stated she is closed for the summer. There were ten children present at the time of inspection with an assistant present.
A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off limit areas include: entire upstairs, laundry room, garage, and backyard hillside. LPA observed a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, screened fireplace, first aid kit, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that meet regulations. LPA observed a fire drill log with the last drill conducted in March 2019. LPAs observed all of the required licensing documents were posted for parental review and a current children's roster was observed. Licensee has Child Care Liability Insurance. Knives, medications, and chemicals were all stored inaccessible to children. Licensee stated that there are no firearms in the home and there were no bodies of water observed on the premises.
