During today’s inspection, LPA and licensee toured the inside and outside areas of the facility. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of doors. The childcare area consists of the living room which is accessed through the front door. The children walk through the hallway to the bathroom. Licensee stated the children's primary area is the childcare room. There is at least one working carbon monoxide, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and other items which could pose a danger if readily available to children were stored inaccessible to children. Licensee stated there are not firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the facility, and none were observed during today's inspections. The home has age appropriate toys for the ages served.
