25 | On November 28, 2023 at 10:40AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luigi Gargaro, conducted an unannounced annual required inspection and met with co-licensee, Amina Sharif. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the Licensee. There were no children present during the visit as provider informed analyst that she has not been able to enroll any since around July of 2022. This facility is a one floor, five bedroom, two bathroom house. Licensee accompanied LPA inside the facility during this inspection. The following areas used for child care are: the kitchen, the dining area, the first living room (off the kitchen), the fifth bedroom (off the first living room) and the day care bathroom. The licensees also have a second living room and enclosed family room that will not be used for primary care but are available for use when additional space is needed. Analyst inspected both areas today and found them to be free of hazards and safely child proofed so licensees may use them at their discretion.
Off limits are the remaining four home bedrooms and the garage. The bedrooms are made off limits with door knob covers installed on the handles of their entry doors. The the entry door to the garage, which is found in the front yard of the home, is made off limits with a locking door handle.
The fire extinguisher and smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors met requirements. All hazardous items are inaccessible to children. The licensees have toys, play equipment and materials available. The licensees have a fenced backyard that is off limits for the facility as it has fruit trees and other items that are not suited for day care. Licensees instead take children to a local park for outdoor activities whenever needed. The yard is off limits with the use of two exit doors leading from the family room that have dead bolt locks on them that make the yard inaccessible when doors are closed and locked.
No bodies of water were observed on the premises during the inspection. Licensee stated there are no weapons in the home. A review of staff records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse clearances or exemptions. |
