Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) N. Cunningham met with licensee Ronya Merel and Cassandra Willet to conduct a case management visit for a capacity increase from a small family child care home to a large family care home and to add Candace Willet as a co-licensee. The licensee submitted the capacity increase application on November 15, 2021.

The facility has functional combination smoke detector/carbon monoxide detectors. There is one fire extinguisher rated at 2A10BC.

There is a seasonal creek on the East side of the home. The children will use a local park for outdoor play area until fencing meets regulation when a body of water is present.
