25 | On 4/28/2023 at 11:05 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, made an unannounced visit for the purpose of an Annual Inspection. During this visit, there were 9 children in care, two under the age of 2 years, with Licensee and her assistant Sharlean Peck. The facility is within ratio and capacity.
LPA toured the home. Primary child care areas are the first floor of the home with the exception of the office and garage. The kitchen, family room area is only used while eating or with supervision as alternate space. 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 located on top of the refrigerator. The dual smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detector, mounted on the hallway ceiling near the postings is operational. There is an alternative at the top of the stairs. Emergency drills are being conducted and logged at least every six months and there is a written Disaster Plan on file. The last drill was conducted on 11/21/22 and the next drill is scheduled for May.
The home is clean, orderly with adequate ventilation and heating. Licensee has provided enough space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Licensee provides all food. It is of proper quantity and quality and stored appropriately. Parents have the option of providing their own food for allergies, sensitivities or preferences. 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. |
