Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loraine Perez met with, Licensee Charlotte Findlay (Licensee), for an unannounced inspection. There is a census of five children in care today, one infant and four preschool age children.

All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. Facilities hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

A health and safety inspection was conducted in the areas accessible to children. Licensee requests to change the backyard from On limits to Off limits as of today’s inspection.

LPA observed a working telephone, functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a 2A10BC fire extinguisher within the home. LPA observed the home was safe, orderly, and free of hazards. LPA observed a variety of age-appropriate toys. Licensee stated there are no firearms on the premises. LPA observed stairs and fireplace are barricaded to meet regulation.
