25 | On 5/9/23 at 11:15am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Patrick Ma conducted an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA met with Licensee Masai. LPA utilized Language Link services (#15468) to translate in Somali for Licensee. Licensee was provided the Inspection Checklist (LIC 126). The one story apartment located on the first level was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children. There were no children in care. Licensee stated children only attend after 2pm. Licensee stated Khadar Jama is her helper but had only a current pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate.
Licensee has provided adequate space for the children to eat, sleep and play within the home. Areas used for child care include living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallway bathroom. Off limits areas are both bedrooms and are inaccessible through use of door knob cover. There were only children posters on the wall as learning material and no evidence of other toys or equipment. There is a nearby park that Licensee takes the children to for outdoor activities. Licensee understands that supervision is required at all times during outdoor activities. LPA conducted child care quality management interview with the Licensee.
The fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector meet requirements and are operational. All hazardous items were latched/locked and secured out of reach of children. There is no body of water on the property. Licensee states that there are no weapons in the home. First Aid and CPR certifications expire on 4/23/24. Licensee has required immunizations. Licensee is exempt from Mandated Reporter Training as their primary language is Somali. Children’s and Staff records were reviewed.
Provider is hereby reminded of the following: Report suspected child abuse and neglect, maintain children’s records according to regulation, post all required forms; corporal punishment, smoking, exersaucers, bouncy seats, walkers, and jumpers are not allowed in day care. |
