32 | LPA tested the dual smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector located in the hallway and found it to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, which meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. The family room contains a fireplace that is blocked by furniture to prevent children’s access.
At 2:00 PM, LPA inspected the backyard area and confirmed that no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area includes equipment such as a basketball hoop court, pitching net with baseballs, slides, ride-on cars, scooters, a water station, miniature shopping carts, chairs, a playhouse, and play kitchens. The backyard is fully fenced and free from defects or dangerous conditions. The driveway area has a gated upper portion designated for children’s play.
At 2:30 PM, LPA requested and reviewed the files of three (3) children in care and two (2) staff members. All children’s files contained the required Parent Notification of Additional Children in Care, Identification and Emergency Information, Parent’s Rights, and Medical Consent forms. Staff files contained the required Health Screening Report, Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse, and Employee Rights documentation. During the review, LPA Woods verified the immunization records for the licensee, staff, and children and determined that the facility is in compliance with applicable immunization requirements for childcare providers.
The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills at least once every six months, with the most recent drill conducted on 02/02/2026. The licensee has completed the required Health and Safety training, and CPR and First Aid certification is current, expiring in 10/2026. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflected currently enrolled children as well as children no longer attending the facility.

LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
