The Parents’ Rights and Emergency & Disaster plan was posted in the day care area. LPA, along with the licensee toured the inside and outside of the home. The facility has a full charged fire extinguisher, 3A40BC. Carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are working properly. The off-limit areas inside in the home are the second floor, all the bedrooms on the first floor, kitchen, and garage. LPA observed a fireplace blocked by a mesh. The licensee stated that the previous barricade she used was movable so she changed to the mesh to block the fireplace.
