25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Saraliz Velando conducted an announced prelicensing inspection with increase in capacity. LPA met with Licensee, Huda Oraha. There were no children present today. This visit is to verify that the licensee remains in substantial compliance with the health & safety standards as required by regulations governing large family childcare homes. Licensee has all appropriate forms posted. LPA confirmed with licensee that all adults residing/working in the home have criminal record/TB clearances. The home appears to be large enough to comfortably accommodate 14 children. Fire clearance was granted on 2/22/24.
LPA toured the home. Licensee uses the following areas for childcare: living room/dining area, kitchen, bedroom 3 and bathroom 2. Off limits areas include: Front yard, backyard, bedrooms 1,2, and 4, Bathroom 1, garage, and pool area. The pool is missing a self-latching gate that swings away from the pool and will need to be corrected. This is the only body of water that was observed by LPA. The home has an operating smoke alarm and a fire extinguisher 2A10BC, both meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children during the inspection. Licensee stated she does not have any weapons and LPA did not observe any.
