25 | A Required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), M. Augustin. A review of staff records on 09/08/2022 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. There are currently six adults living in the home. Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee (LS) and two adults (A1 & A2) were supervising five daycare children (C1-C5), and the facility was operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed A1 & A2 was sitting close and picking up daycare children. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are Monday - Friday; 7:00am - 5:00pm. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor, kitchen and backyards are off limits to the children, and these areas have been made inaccessible by means of door locking mechanism and large sofas to barricaded passage.
There is a working telephone in the home. There is a functional smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector; and a fully charged fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. There was a child safety gate installed at the bottom of the staircase, however; the gate did not securely barricade the staircase. LPA did not observe any poison(s). There were no firearm(s) or other dangerous weapons stored on the premise. (Continue to LIC 809-C) |
