No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 4:00am to 7:00pm, Mon–Sat. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are one bedroom, kitchen, living room and the outdoor porch on the upper level of the home, and were made inaccessible by a door locking mechanism and children's safety gates. The home was observed to be clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. The licensee stated there is a working telephone in the home. The licensee’s pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed, and expire on 02/17/20.
