On 1/16/25 at 11:00 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gerald Poindexter conducted an unannounced inspection for a Capacity Increase. This visit is to verify that the licensee remains in substantial compliance with the health & safety standards as required by regulations governing family childcare homes. LPA met with licensee Murielle Desir. Fire clearance report was provided to the Department on 1/14/25. The three-bedroom, 1.5 bath, two-story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. Present in the home was one of the licensee’s minor children. There was one daycare child present in the home at the time of inspection. Licensee states she currently has one enrolled child who arrives at 8 am. Licensee says she expects to expand her child care hours to Monday-Friday, 6 am to 10 pm.

Areas used for childcare include the following: living room, dining area, bathroom, and backyard. Off-limits areas include: Kitchen and all second floor areas. These areas prevent access through use of safety gates. LPA reminded licensee that children must be escorted to bathroom, since it requires passage through the off-limits kitchen area. There are stairs in the home, which were gated at the time of inspection. There is no garage at the home (despite the fire department clearance stating: “garage has been legally converted into a living space.”). Fire inspector-required additions to the home included, installation of a pull alarm, a 3A40BC extinguisher, and exit signage to the front and back of the home. There are no bodies of water in the home. A community swimming pool is located one-minute walking distance from the front door of the home. The pool is gated to sufficient height and requires key entry. The licensee has sufficient toys and equipment available.

The home has a fenced/gated backyard area that licensee states will be used for outdoor activities. Licensee states that she understands that supervision is required at all times during outdoor activities. The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector meet requirements and are operational.
