25 | On December 8, 2023., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted a required inspection and met the Licensee, Chuk Shan Lau. LPA explained the purpose of the inspection to the Licensee and was given access to the property. The Licensee and two helpers supervised nine children today: three infants and six preschoolers. All adults living and working in the home have a criminal record clearance. The physical layout of the property remained unchanged, with the same off-limits and childcare areas. Childcare areas are only on the ground floor, including the playroom/classroom, two bathrooms, and the backyard. Off-limit areas are the entire second floor and the garage. All off-limits areas have been appropriately blocked off from the children. The hours of the operation are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am - 5:30 PM.
The Licensee's childcare areas were inspected and evaluated by LPA for any potential health and safety concerns. The childcare areas were clean and organized, with age-appropriate activities such as imaginary and manipulative play. The childcare areas have proper heating, lighting, and ventilation, and no defects or situations that could endanger children in care were detected. The facility had a fully charged fire extinguisher with a minimum standard of 2A 10 BC, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a functional phone. All detergents and cleaning agents were kept in the bathroom cabinets with child-proof locks. Per the Licensee, no firearms, weapons, or pets were on the premises, and no baby walkers, bouncers, or similar equipment were used in the daycare. The Licensee was informed that smoking is prohibited in family childcare facilities. The backyard was observed to be completely fenced. There are age-appropriate toys and play structures. Soft cushions were installed to break any accidental fall.
