25 | On August 28, 2023., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van performed an annual mandatory inspection, which included checking the interior and exterior of the facility and discussing the required childcare paperwork with the Licensee. The Licensee was not home during the visit. The two helpers, Yip Wan and PeiYi Kuang, greeted LPA. The purpose of the inspection was explained to the Licensee’s helpers, and entry to the home was granted. Neither helpers could not help LPA during the visit as the helpers did not know where the required postings were located or providing children’s records for review. The Licensee’s daughter arrived during the visit. Approximately 30 minutes later, the Licensee came home. Every adult living and working in the home has a criminal record clearance. No change in the daycare areas. Daycare areas are provided only on the ground level, consisting of a family room, study room, bathroom, and backyard. The remaining areas of the house are off-limits. The days and hours of operations are from 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday.
LPA inspected the Licensees' home for health and safety hazards. The childcare is in good condition, with appropriate temperature and ventilation. All cleaning supplies, poisons, and other chemicals were kept out of reach of children. There is a fully charged fire extinguisher, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a functional phone. Fully stocked first aid supplies are available for children. According to the Licensee, there are no firearms or weapons. The backyard is clean, free of hazards, and has the appropriate playthings in good working condition. No pools, spas, or bodies of water were on the premises. LPA did not observe walkers, bouncers, or similar items in the home. Licensees acknowledged that smoking is prohibited in family childcare homes.
