A review of staff records on 8/4/21 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 2 adults living in the home. During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The licensee was not supervising any children. No children were observed left in any parked vehicle. The facility’s operating hours are 6:30AM to 5:30PM, Monday–Friday. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The off-limits areas of the home are the master bedroom and one child's room, and were made inaccessible by door knob cover. The home was clean and orderly, and was at a comfortable indoor temperature. There were safe toys and equipment available for children. There is a working telephone in the home. The licensee has current pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, which expire on 5/22. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were stored out of the reach of children. Poisons are locked in the outside shed. The fireplace has been made inaccessible and is not used at all. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher, rated at least 2A10BC, in the home. The licensee stated there are firearms in the home however they are stored correctly. The children use the back yard and local park as the outdoor play area. The backyard is fully fenced however the park is not and the licensee understands that complete supervision is required. There were no pools or other bodies of water observed in the yard.
