25 | On 7/12/21, at 12:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvin Baddley conducted a Required Inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Robin Rose, Licensee of the FCCH and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA, in the company of the Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The home’s living room, kitchen, guestrooms, hallway bathroom and back yard are used for child care, while the home’s master bedroom is excluded. At the time of the inspection 5 children are present, four of which are napping.
The home was orderly and the bathroom used for care was clean and free of toxins. LPA observed both cleaning compounds on the shelf of an elevated cabinet above the kitchen sink. The cleaning compounds are beyond the reach of children in care. Likewise, household medications are stored on elevated shelf of a neighboring kitchen cabinet which is also inaccessible to children in care. Toys, furniture and equipment in the FCCH are age appropriate.
LPA observed required licensing forms and documents post on the wall near the entry of the FCCH. LPA observed a fireplace in the living room which is screened by a child safety gate. A combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector is observed in the FCCH. The detector were not tested as four of the five children in the FCCH were napping. LPA did observe a blinking light in the detector which suggested the detector's operational status. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH's kitchen area which was purchased on 2/21/21. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the home’s fire/disaster drill log. The most recent fire drill occurred on the present (7/12/21).
The FCCH's backyard is enclosed by wooden fencing. The fence’s entry/exit gates are secure. Toys and play equipment observed in backyard are age appropriate. LPA notes cushioning made up of wood bark underneath the play structure in the back yard area. LPA observed no bodies of water on site.
