25 | On April 6, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst's (LPA) Kuliema Calloway met with Licensee, who provided access and a tour of the family childcare home for an Annual Random inspection. Upon arrival LPA observed zero children in care. Licensee wants to remain licensed and anticipates having children during the summertime. The home is licensed for 12-14 children and licensee will have an assistant. This is a two story 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with kitchen, dining room, family room, living room, laundry room, and garage. There is spa or body of water on the premises. Family members residing in the home include one adult (self) and four minor children there are no other adults living in the home. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy were discussed and are not being provided. Licensee is not sure if services will be needed until kids are in care.
Inside: Main childcare is provided in Family Room (next to the kitchen). Children will use the Bathroom #1 (on the left in the hallway upon entry in the front door.) There were shampoos inside the shower, and chemical under the sink and in the medicine cabinet. Licensee is aware they will have to be removed, once kids are in care.
Off limit areas: Downstairs: Living room, Bedroom #1, stairs, garage (key lock), and bonus room will be gated and made inaccessible. Upstairs: Bedroom’s #2, #3, #4 and #5, Bathroom #2 and #3, and laundry room. The home was inspected inside and out for safety, comfort, cleanliness, telephone service, heating and ventilation, inaccessibility to poisons, detergents/cleaning compounds (kept in kitchen cabinet under the sink and secured with a magnetic lock), medicines are kept in the locked pantry inside a storage container and hazardous items (sharp knives were inside kitchen pantry with a key lock) next to the stove. The kitchen is not gated and made accessible to the children. LPA advised supervision at all times inside the kitchen. LPA observed the locks on the cabinet and pantry. Fire/earthquake drills complete and maintained current utilizing licensee’s own children. The last drill was conducted in April 2023. The Roster was observed but not current since there are no kids in care. |
