25 | On August 4 of 2023 at approximately 2:10 PM, LPAs A. Silva and V. Trinh conducted a POC visit to follow up on the plans of correction issued on 8/2/23. Upon arrival the licensee had 11 children in care. The children were napping while supervised by two staff.
The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staff-to-child ratios. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review showed that all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
The LPA inspected the indoor of the family day care home area identified in the Facility Sketch LIC999 and areas accessible to clients. Off-limits areas were inaccessible to clients in care with child locks. The facility was equipped with working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, working telephone service, and at least one fire extinguisher that meets statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. The licensee keeps telephone service in the home when clients are in care. The licensee stated the facility has a ladline and a cell phone.
ON-SITE FOOD PREPARATION: The licensee provides lunch and snack to the children. At the time of inspection, food prep areas were clean and sanitary, and food was properly stored. Drinking water is available to clients in care. Bottles are labeled with children’s names. The LPA observed that the facility’s floors, equipment, furniture, and clients’ bathrooms were clean and in good repair.
OUTDOOR INSPECTION: The playground is enclosed by a fence. The outdoor equipment and toys were in good repair and free of sharp edges. At the time of inspection, the surface of the outdoor activity area was maintained and free of any observable hazards. There were no bodies of water (in-ground pool/ jacuzzi/ community pool/water fountain) in the facility at the time of inspection.
