On Wednesday, May 22, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amanda Sutter met with Licensee, Christine Larson, for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA observed licensee supervising 8 children. Licensee’s own minor child over 10 years old was also present. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. LPA observed proper ratio and capacity was being followed. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

A health and safety evaluation was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Off-limit areas include: master bedroom, bedroom #2, garage, and side yards. Licensee acknowledged that children may never enter these off-limit areas. LPA observed that the facility is clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. LPA observed a functioning smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a full 2A10BC fire extinguisher. The facility has adequate toys that appear to be safe for children to use. The licensee stated there are no weapons or poisons in the home. LPA observed stairs to a loft in the living room to be barricaded according to regulation. Licensee stated that she is no longer using the pond in the backyard. LPA observed it to be emptied and barricaded so that it could not collect rain water. The backyard is fenced.

LPA reviewed four children’s files which were observed to be complete. Required postings and the children’s roster were observed. LPA observed infant sleep plan (LIC 9227) and 15-minute observation checks for napping infants. Licensee tracks 15 minute sleep checks in the Bright Wheel app. The facility has record of conducting fire drills at least every 6 months. The last fire drill was conducted 5/8/2024.
