On 5/18/23, at 12:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvin Baddley conducted an unannounced One Year Required Inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Maria Verdin, Licensee of the FCCH and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA, in the company of the Licensee, toured the interior and exterior of the FCCH. The FCCH's living room, den, hall bathroom and front yard are used for child care, while the remainder of the home is excluded from care. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed eight children in care along with an assistant (cleared and associated).

Required licensing forms and documents are posted on the wall of the FCCH's near the home's entry door. The FCCH's has no fireplace. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the FCCH. LPA did not test the detectors as all children in care were napping at the time of the inspection. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH which was last serviced on 12/30/22. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually.

The home is void of hazardous items and the bathroom the children use for care is clean and free of toxins. Medication and sharps in the home are located in an elevated cabinet in the kitchen, while cleaning compounds are secured under the kitchen sink. Toys, furniture and play equipment observed in the FCCH are age appropriate.

The front yard is enclosed by wrought iron fencing and the surfaces are varied. Toys and play equipment observed on site are age appropriate. The fence’s entry/exit gates are secure. LPA observed no bodies of water on site.

A sampling of the children's records were reviewed. The records are current, complete and possessed emergency contact information, notifications of parents rights, sleep plans and sleep check documentation. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. Pediatric CPR and First (EMSA approved) certifications expire on 3/20/24, and Mandated Reporter certification expire on 1/23/24. Licensee notes no firearms or ammunition are stored on site.
