LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and verified they were both functional. LPA toured the kitchen area and verified knives were inaccessible to children in care. LPA discussed the need to ensure cleaners are inaccessible to children in care. LPAs toured the bedroom used for napping and observed two soiled sheets, two soiled mats, and two cribs that had dirt and food collected under the mat. Licensee stated that they clean the sheets every Friday but their water well was broken this past weekend which is why the sheets were still soiled but as of Monday 04/10/2023, the well has been repaired. LPA observed Licensee remove the soiled sheets. LPA reminded Licensee that they need to keep soiled sheets in a separate container until they are cleaned. Licensee stated they will replace the cribs that are dirty with newer ones and will send photos to LPA.
