There were no children in care during the inspection. This family childcare home operates Monday - Friday 7AM-5PM. LPA verified that the licensee's phone number and email address on file are correct.

The home is a two story home, and consists of a living room, kitchen, two downstairs bedrooms, one downstairs bathroom, one upstairs studio which includes a bedroom, kitchenette, closet, patio and bathroom, a downstairs laundry/storage room, fenced front yard and fenced back yard.

The off-limit areas include both downstairs bedrooms, storage/laundry room, entire upstairs, and backyard. These areas are made inaccessible by closed and/or locked doors, gates, and visual supervision.
