25 | On 04/07/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Luisa Gavoutian, conducted an unannounced Annual Inspection. LPA was greeted by Licensee Tanya Spielman who accompanied LPA on a tour of the home, inside and outside, as shown on the facility sketches (LIC 999A) provided. Also present were four fingerprint-cleared assistants. Present during today’s inspection were 12 children. The areas of the home that are accessible to the daycare children are the living room, play room, kitchen, family room, bedroom (office), bathroom, and fenced backyard. “Off-limits” rooms are made inaccessible by child safety gates and doorknob spinners.
Two dogs were observed during today’s inspection; Licensee is aware of the safety of children around animals. Swimming pool is fenced per regulation. The pool gate is self-latching, self-closing and opens away from the swimming pool. No windows or doors have direct access to the pool area. LPA observed two locked safes in an inaccessible area of the home. Licensee stated that one safe contains unloaded firearms and the other safe contains ammunition, however Licensee was unable to open the safes and LPA was unable to verify if the firearms and ammunition were stored per regulation. No poisons were observed during the inspection. LPA observed the following: in the kitchen, a knife block on the counter next to the stove, five tool chests in the family room containing various tools, including hammers, wrenches, pliers, screw drivers, and screws, a supply closet near the kitchen with various unopened containers of cleaning supplies including Lysol toilet bowl cleaners, Lysol disinfectant sprays, floor cleaning solution, and Comet. During the inspection, Licensee moved the knife block to a higher cabinet, removed the tool chests and placed them in the supply closet near the kitchen where the cleaning supplies were located, and placed a doorknob spinner on the supply closet making the hazardous items inaccessible. LPA observed a child safety gate leading into the kitchen and family room area. Licensee stated that although the kitchen and family room are licensed for use, children do not typically use them.
