An annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Y. Yang. A review of staff records on 06/16/2023 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. 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. There is currently one adult living in the home.

During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. There were no daycare children present during this inspection visit. The facility’s operating hours are 07:30am to 04:00pm Mon-Thur. The licensee’s pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed and expire in Feb 2024. Licensee's mandated reporter training certificate expires end of June 2023. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. The LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. Licensee stated there are no poisons, firearms, or ammunition stored on the premises. The licensee's back yard is partially on limits and fully fenced. There is an above ground pool in the licensee's backyard. The pool fencing meets regulations. There were no other bodies of water observed on site. Five children's records were reviewed during today's inspection. Children's immunization records, identification and emergency forms, and notification of parent's rights forms were on file. Infant safe sleep documents were reviewed. One staff file was reviewed during the inspection and contained the documents as specified on the inspection checklist. Continued on LIC 809-C
