The licensee stated there are no weapons or poisons in the home. LPA observed a fireplace and stairs to be barricaded according to regulation. The backyard is fenced and no bodies of water were observed.

LPA reviewed four children’s files. Three of the four files reviewed did not have immunization records. Required postings and the children’s roster were observed. LPA observed 15-minute observation checks for napping infants. The facility has record of conducting fire drills at least every 6 months. The last fire drill was conducted 1/23/2023.
