Indoor areas of the home were inspected by the LPA today and observed to be clean, orderly, and safe for the day care children. Off-limits areas of the home (indoors): Bedroom #3, Master Bedroom with bathroom en suite and office. There are no open-faced heaters in the home. There is a fireplace in the day care area that is inaccessible from children in care by a book shelf that is positioned in front of it. LPA observed sufficient age-appropriate materials, toys, and play equipment in the home. Furniture, such as tables, chairs, and shelves, are in good condition and safe for children. LPA observed separate files at the entrance where staff can share the art and things children did for the day. Drinking water is readily available for children in the facility via purchased water jugs, plastic cups and personal water bottles that children bring from home for when the children are in the backyard playing. There is a dedicated bathroom for the children that is off the main day care room. It has two toilets and a double sink that is lower to accommodate young children. There is an additional adult bathroom separate for staff. The bathrooms are clean, sanitary, and operable. The Licensee has a cell phone and land line for a working telephone at the facility. There is one step from the day care room to the kitchen, a gate barricades this area from children in care. S1 stated they open the gate when they are putting children in the sleeping room and walk them through the kitchen to that room, supervised. LPA observed this to be true. Otherwise the gate is closed keeping the step inaccessible from children.
The backyard area of the home was inspected. LPA observed sufficient play equipment and supplies for the children that are in good condition and age-appropriate. There was shade provided by canopies, bikes, toy Lego's, tan bark under play structures. Off-limit areas outside of home include: the front and side yards.
