25 | On February 16, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Van, conducted an unannounced annual inspection and met with Licensee Melikyan Gayane. The purpose of the inspection was explained, and LPA was granted entry to the home by the Licensee. Licensee and a helper were supervising 10 children (9 preschoolers and an infant). The Daycare area is on the ground level, including the playroom, nap room, bathroom, and backyard. The entire second floor and the garage are off-limit to children. Days and operation hours are Monday - Friday from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm. Per Licensee, when a child shows signs of illness, the Licensee will separate and have the child waiting in the nap room while contacting the parent to pick up.
LPA and the Licensee toured the childcare areas for health and safety hazards. The childcare area is clean and organized, with age-appropriate toys and equipment. The house has sufficient lighting and ventilation. A functional telephone, multiple working smokes and carbon monoxide detectors, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher are all in the house. LPA observed several play yards and highchairs at the facility. LPA reminded the Licensee that highchairs are used only when children are eating/feeding. LPA did not observe any toys or pillows inside and no objects hanging above the cribs/playpens. LPA discussed with the Licensee that all mattresses/padding should be designed for the particular cribs/play yards, and bedsheets should be tight-fitted. In addition, the Licensee was informed to check on the infant every 15 minutes during naptime physically. The Licensee understood that no baby walkers, bouncers, exersaucers, or other similar items are permissible to be used during daycare hours. According to the Licensee, there are no bodies of water on the premises. Daycare children have no access to detergents, disinfectants, or cleaning chemicals. The Licensee stated there are no guns or weapons in the house.
