Indoor areas of the home were inspected by the LPA today and observed to be clean, orderly, and safe for the day care children. The Licensee is currently utilizing a renovated barn for the day care area, however it has not received fire clearance. Renovated barn appears visually safe for day care children. LPA advised Licensee that utilization of the barn for day care must cease until fire clearance is approved. LPA obtained all required documents for fire clearance and advised Licensee that she will submit request for fire inspection. Children at the day care must utilize areas that were approved during last fire clearance (conducted 6/20/2011) until new clearance is issued. Licensee states that she primarily uses her home space for day care material storage, cooking during hot weather, and for staff restroom. Off-limits areas inside of the home include: 1 bedroom, guest room, dining room, and front room. There is an open faced heater located in the renovated barn that is barricaded and safe for children. LPA observed sufficient age-appropriate materials, toys, and play equipment in the home. Drinking water is readily available for children in the facility via water dispensers and water bottles from home labeled with the children’s names. The bathroom in the barn is clean, sanitary, and operable. The Licensee has a working telephone in the facility.
