25 | On 2/7/2023 at 10:00 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit for the purpose of an Annual Inspection. During this visit, there were 10 children in care, 4 under the age of 2 years, with Licensee and her husband. The facility is within ratio and capacity.
LPA toured the home. Primary child care areas are the front two rooms, downstairs bathroom and fully fenced back yard. Licensee occasionally uses the family room and kitchen/dining area. The facility sketch on file is accurate. Off limits areas have been made inaccessible with the use of safety gates. There are no weapons stored in the home or on the property and there are no bodies of water present. The fireplace has been secured and the stairs have been made inaccessible. The fire extinguisher is full and of adequate size and easily accessible in the garage. The smoke alarm (mounted on the ceiling by the bathroom) and carbon monoxide detector (located behind the couch in the family room) are operational. Emergency drills are being conducted and logged at least every six months and there is a written Disaster Plan on file. Licensee conducts monthly drills. Last drill was 2/2/23. The home is clean, orderly with adequate ventilation and heating. Licensee has both an air and water filter system in place. Licensee has provided enough space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Children bring their snacks and lunches in labeled containers and there is refrigeration available for storage, if needed. The furniture, to include napping materials and children’s toys, books and activities are safe and age appropriate and in good repair. Licensee has checked for recalled items. There is a working telephone and all required forms are posted. Outdoor play space is fully fenced with age appropriate play equipment and activities in good repair. No hazards were noted. Licensee understands there is no smoking in or around day care areas.
Children’s files were reviewed and found to be complete. The facility roster was current and complete and is being stored for 3 years. Licensee's and her husband's pediatric CPR/FA certificate with American Red Cross is valid through 1/24. Licensee is reminded that Mandated Reporter Training certificates are to be renewed |
