All adults living or working in the home have a criminal background clearance on file. The house is a 3-floor building; Licensee's partner owns this building. Daycare areas are: a small kitchen area, bathroom, and the backyard on the lower level; the activity room is on the street level, and the playroom in the lowest level and has direct access to the back yard for outdoor activity. Per Licensee, the activity room is temporary not being used, currently used as storage, as the outside of the house is being painted.

All off-limit areas, including closets, and staircase, are adequately barricaded.
