25 | An annual random inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother. A review of staff records 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.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The licensee and two assistants were supervising two children, and operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mon–Fri. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the garage, made off limits by a locking latch on the door, and the master bedroom made inaccessible by a child safety gate. During the inspection, the licensee stated that she has converted a portion of the garage into a bedroom and would like to use it as a nap room. LPA advised the licensee that the cleaning products and paints in the laundry area of the garage will need to be made inaccessible before the bedroom area of the garage can be added to the on limits area of the home. Once the licensee has made the cleaning products and paint inaccessible, a photo of the area and an updated LIC999A Floor Plan will be submitted to the department and the garage/bedroom can be used during child care hours. The home was observed to be clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. 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 11/2019. 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 licensee stated that there are no poisons stored on the premises and none were observed during today's inspection. The fireplace has been made inaccessible with a child safety gate. The LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The roster of children in care was reviewed and was current.
