Licensee submitted application to the Department on 12/12/23. Fire clearance was completed on 1/8/24. Also, in the home was Licensee’s mother and helper, Suaad Korkees. The one story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children.

Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Areas used for child care include living room 1, dining room, master bedroom and bath. Off limits areas include garage, living room 2, kitchen, bedroom 1 & 2, and hallway bathroom and are inaccessible through use of door knob covers and latches, however, living room and kitchen’s double doors need to be made inaccessible to children. Licensee showed 5 stuffed animals as equipment and toys available to children. The home has a fenced backyard available for outdoor activities. Pool in the backyard was properly fenced. Upon arrival, pool gate was shut and latched but during inspection LPA discovered self-latching gate was not working and remains open after unlatching, which will need to be corrected.
