On 2/27/2024, at 1:45PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brittany Crass arrived at the home for an unannounced required/random inspection. LPA met with licensee LauRiece Mills. There were 2 infants and 2 preschool aged children in care during the inspection. There was also a fingerprint cleared assistant. This family childcare home operates Monday - Friday 7am-5:30pm. LPA verified that the licensee's phone number and email address on file are correct.

LPA toured the home with licensee, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The home is a two story home. LPA observed that the home is neat and clean with heating and ventilation for the safety and comfort of children in care. The on-limit areas were toured and include the living room, dining area, hallway, upstairs bathroom, and backyard. The off-limit areas are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors, gates, and visual supervision. The dining area is used for isolation of sick children, away from other children in care. The fireplace in the living room is blocked to prevent access by children. The backyard is used for outdoor play and is fully fenced. LPA observed an ample supply of age-appropriate toys, equipment and activities available for children both indoors and outdoors and observed that they are in good condition. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, toxins, medications or hazardous items that would be accessible to children during todays visit. The licensee stated that there are no firearms on the premises.

The home is equipped with a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, a working combination carbon monoxide/smoke detector, and working telephone. Licensee did not have proof of current CPR/First aid certificate, which had expired on 10/16/2023 (See 809-D for deficiency cited). Fire and earthquake drills have not been being conducted (See 809-D for deficiency cited). LPA observed all of the required forms posted. LPA reviewed children's files, staff files and obtained a copy of the current roster.
