Upon arrival LPA met with Licensee Lynda Gay. There were no children in care. The licensee states that due to another commitment she will not provide child care today. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. LPA conducted a tour of the home inside and outside per facility sketch. Licensee is using the following areas for daycare: living room, dining area, kitchen, bedroom #1, bedroom #2, bathroom #1 and enclosed rear yard. Off-limits areas include: bedroom #3 (master bedroom), bathroom #2 (within bedroom #3) and garage. The home appears to be large enough to comfortably accommodate 14 children. A fire clearance was received on 11/30/2023. The licensee has not obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC9149). Without this consent, the licensee understands that, once licensed, they can operate with a maximum capacity of 12 children. If property owner/landlord consent is obtained in the future, the licensee is advised that a new Application for a Family Child Care Home License (LIC 279) must be submitted with a change of capacity fee of $25, to increase the capacity and provide care to 14 children. Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Home is clean, orderly and has adequate ventilation. Children’s toys and play equipment are available and observed free of hazards. There are no stairs in the home. There is a working telephone/email address. All cleaning compounds, detergents, medications, and poisons are made inaccessible through latches, locks, and/or placed up on high surfaces. The fireplace is screened. The fire extinguisher and smoke and carbon monoxide detector are operational. The last documented fire/disaster drill occurred on 9/5/23. Licensee states there are NO firearms or other weapons in the home. The outdoor play area is fenced and free of hazardous items. There are no existing bodies of water present. There are no new adults living or working in the home over the age of 18 years. All adult residents and helpers have submitted or been cleared for criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Pediatric CPR and First-Aid certificates are valid through 10/22/24 for Licensee and helper Erica Lucas. Mandated Child Abuse Reporting certification expires on 9/10/24 for Licensee and 2/26/25 for Helper. Immunization records per SB792 were reviewed and are in compliance.
