25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Warren Birks conducted an unannounced Required 1 Year inspection. LPA met with Licensee Jennifer Flemings who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Upon arrival LPA observed the Licensee and cleared assistant caring for 13 children (one school age, three infant and seven preschool children). There are 14 children enrolled with some attending the facility at different times. All residents associated with the facility were noted.
At proximately 1:25pm all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. This is a single one story home comprised of three (3) bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining area, living room, family room, kitchen, backyard, side yard and attached garage. Areas used by the children include the living room, front bedroom, one restroom, and gated side yard. LPA informed Licensee to contact the department if she wants to use other areas of the home and make sure hazards are inaccessible. Per Licensee, areas off limits to children and parents include: garage, living room, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and part of the backyard (inaccessible by fence). LPA observed baby gates preventing access to off limit areas.
Areas accessible to children were inspected to ensure that they are clean and orderly with ventilation and heating for the safety of the children. Between 2:15pm and 2:30pm LPA observed age appropriate toys and equipment inside the home and the backyard. LPA observed a caterpillar shaped play equipment in the backyard and advised Licensee to always ensure careful supervision for enclosed play equipment. The backyard is surrounded by fencing approximately 5 feet high. There is a working phone maintained in the home. LPA observed one large dog that remains inaccessible. LPA observed detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other items which can pose a danger to children to be inaccessible (in inaccessible areas or out of children's reach).
Per Licensee there are no firearms, weapons or bodies of water and LPA did not observe any on the premises. The License, Parents Rights Poster, and Earthquake Preparedness was posted. The children's roster and Disaster drill is current (last date of drill June 2023). Continued: |
