25 | An annual required inspection of the facility was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst, Jennifer Velasco (LPA), who met with Licensee Amy Rosenbaum (L1). 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. 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. L1 provides care in three studios, an indoor bathroom, multiple fully fenced and covered patios and outdoor classrooms, and an upper playground. During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. L1 had no children in care for the day. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility's operating hours are 8:30 a.m. - 2:50 p.m., Monday - Thursday, and some weeks Tuesday - Friday, if there was a Monday holiday. The facility closes briefly during summer break. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the upper floor of the main house and the portions of the property beyond the inner fence line. These were made inaccessible by use of key locked doors, combination padlocks, fencing, and secured gates. The facility studios were observed to be clean and orderly and were at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. L1 stated there is a working telephone in the home. L1’s pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications were reviewed and expire in 07/2022. L1 stated there are no poisons at the facility, and none were observed during this inspection. 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 in a high cupboard in each studio. LPA observed a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. |
