LPAs conducted inspections of the indoor and outdoor daycare areas to identify health and safety hazards. LPAs found the home's interior to be clean and orderly, with proper heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. LPAs observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors present in the facility. The detectors were not tested due to children napping during the inspection.
Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons, and other items that could pose a danger were stored in the licensee’s room and were inaccessible to the children. The bathroom was found to be clean and fully operational. The toilet and handwashing facilities were well-kept, safe, and clean. A diaper changing station is available for children to use.
LPAs observed that the daycare areas had age-appropriate toys, furniture, and educational materials. No equipment, such as walkers, bouncers, or similar objects, was present in the home. The fireplace was observed to be properly barricaded. The home was observed to have individual permanent or portable storage space for the children’s clothing and personal belongings.
