25 | On 6/12/23, at 3:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvin Baddley conducted an unannounced One Year Required Inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Lynn Shapiro, 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 FCCH's playroom, playroom bathroom and backyard are used for child care, while the remainder of the home is excluded from child care. At the time of the inspection LPA observed seven children in care along with one Assistant (cleared and associated).
The FCCH is void of hazardous items and the bathroom the children use for care is clean and free of toxins. Medication, cleaning compounds and sharps are stored in location which are inaccessible to children in care. Toys, furniture and equipment observed are age appropriate. Required licensing forms and documents are posted on the wall of the FCCH near the entry. The FCCH has a fireplace which is screened by glass and inaccessible to children. LPA observed a smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the FCCH. The detectors were tested at 3:37 PM and found to be operable. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH which was last serviced on 9/2/22. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually.
The backyard is enclosed by a wooden fencing and the footing in the area is varied. The fence’s entry/exit gates are secure. Toys and play equipment viewed on site vary by age. LPA reminded Licensee to ensure children are using equipment and play structure which are age appropriate. There are three sheds in the back yard which are all secured. The sheds contain household items. No bodies of water are observed on site.
A sampling of the children's records were reviewed. The records are current, complete and possessed emergency contact information, immunization records and documentation noting the children's sleep checks
