Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. LPA discussed with licensee and FR the CCR Criminal Record Clearance regulation and provided a copy.
During today’s inspection, LPA and FR toured the inside and outside areas identified in the facility sketch as accessible to child care children. There are no bodies of water on the FCCH grounds, but there is a community pool which is not used for children in care. The FCCH met all posting requirements, which were posted in a prominent, publicly accessible area in the FCCH. Off limits areas are made inaccessible by means of safety gates, closed/locked doors. Per FR, the primary child care area consists of the downstairs living space, 1 bathroom, and outdoor fenced play area. There is at least one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector, and fire extinguisher (2A10BC) in the home that meet statutory and State Fire Marshall standards. The facility has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months (09/14/2026). Detergents, cleaning compounds, medicines, and other items which could pose a danger if readily available to children were stored inaccessible to children. FR stated there are no firearms and/or other dangerous weapons in the facility, and none were observed during today’s inspection. Poisons or other hazardous items which could pose a danger to children were not on the premises. There is a barricaded fireplace in the living room. The FCCH has age-appropriate toys for the ages served. Food is provided by the licensee and when personalized items are brought from the children’s homes, the container shall be labeled with child’s name and properly stored/refrigerated. LPA verified the facility maintains telephone service. LPA inspected the outdoor area and observed the space to be safe and free from any immediate and/or potential risks to the children in care. Licensee was reminded outdoor play shall be supervised by the licensee or caregiver.
