| On 07/11/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lisa Clayton and LPA Ranita Richmond arrived at the Family Child Care home announced, to conduct a Case Management – Licensee initiated inspection. LPA Clayton was greeted by licensee Shally Lwin. LPA Clayton observed 9 children in care.
LPA Clayton and LPA Richmond toured the home inside and outside for a Health and Safety inspection, and discussed Licensees plans for the upcoming construction. Licensee provided LPA Clayton and LPA Richmond with a revised copy of the Contractors proposed plans. Per the contract provided to LPA Clayton, all of the “demo work” is to be done when the children are not in care and the day care is closed.
Construction on the family child care home is planned as follows:
· Demo and remodel the kitchen
· Demo and remodel bathroom #1
· Paint entire downstairs of the home
· New floors in the front of the home (living room, kitchen, bathroom)
Licensee has requested the previously off limit areas to be on limits during construction as follows: children will enter the property using the front gate, entering the home using the side back door. Care will be provided in bathroom #2, bedroom #1 (napping area), bedroom #2 (napping/activity area), bedroom #3 (classroom/activity area). Children will eat and play in the gated front yard. Licensee will put a child safety gate at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the second floor.
LPA Clayton instructed licensee to provide documentation to the parents/authorized representatives regarding the construction at the day care, including but not limited to expected start/stop dates, rooms where care is to be provided, exiting and entering the home and parents responsibility to provide all meals. Licensee is to provide signed copies to the department.
