On 10/9/24, at 9:30 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shane Loftus conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection of the facility.

The FCCH is a single-story dwelling consisting of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living room, family room, kitchen, and backyard. The family room (play room), one bathroom, and the backyard are used for child care. Licensee, assistant (Connor Taylor), and 8 children in care were present at the time of inspection.

The FCCH has a regulation 2A10 BC fire extinguisher that was serviced on 9/19/24. LPA reminded licensee the fire extinguisher needs to be either serviced or newly purchased annually. LPA tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at 9:45 am and found them to be operational. The bathroom used for child care is clean and orderly. Cleaning supplies are stored in the bathroom in an elevated cabinet as well as under the kitchen sink, which is inaccessible to children in care. Medications are stored in the hallway cupboard which is inaccessible to children in care. Sharps are stored in a kitchen drawer which is secured with a child safety lock, making them inaccessible to children in care. The FCCH has a fireplace that is covered with a metal screen.
